stanf 43 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 this seems so simple, but still its failing.this is a simple url scrape. I chose the page scrape because it seemed the simplest way to isolate the data i need.try-bbw-redult.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stanf 43 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 thanx kevin,that did the trick,,but can you please explain why you chose what you chose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k1lv9h 76 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi, To determine what html I use for my page scrapes. I will open the webpage in a browser like Firefox or Chrome. Inspect the element/text I am interested in. Look at the html surrounding the element/text I want. For a search results or list webpage I will look at more then one of the same element/text to be sure I choose html they have in common.orYou could look at the webpage source to figure it out.

Legend 181 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 for example... href will return "/resources/food.jpg" while full href will return "http://site.com/path/resources/food.jpg" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
