Hi fellow rebols,
I'm writing a script to collect data from various web pages and send the results in an
email.
Most web pages are ok but a few cause some problems.
Here's an example:
www.tradesports.com
This page allows you to place bets on various topics.
I want to extract this kind of information, but the links trigger javascript functions
so there appears to be no direct URLs to the resulting pages.
I figure I need to open an HTTP port and post whatever the javascript function sends
myself.
Here's an example of a javascript function call in a link:
<a href="#" onClick="javascript:trade(88190);return false;">Trade This Now!</a>
And here's the trade function:
function trade(conID)
{
document.POSTGSX.request_operation.value = "trade";
document.POSTGSX.request_type.value = "action";
document.POSTGSX.selConID.value = conID;
document.POSTGSX.location.value = "TradeCentre";
document.POSTGSX.submit();
}
I don't know much about javascript and HTTP post.
>From what I can gather I need to send the same information to the server as the
>submit() function above, but I have absolutely no idea of what information is sent or

Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Gisle
