scriptbit 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Would an easier way to identify hard to find items within a page be using page source? Are any of you guys using that or have you been using ubot so long you already memorized all the html tags by heart? I'm new so I haven't got that memorized at all, seems like viewing page source would be a big help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnB 255 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 What types of things are you talking about? I by no means have it memorized, and do occasionally refer to the source code to see how different elements are coded. Do you have an example? John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how you got: "<H2 class=entry-title>*</H2><SPAN class=entry-secondary-snippet>- <SPAN class=snippet>*</SPAN></SPAN>" ...back in this post: http://ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6775-scraping-google-trends-rss-feed/ I really tried figuring it out myself but I still am stumped. Advice? Did you like... right click on it? How did you get that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnB 255 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes, I just chose it by attribute (right clicked it in the browser using the div tag I believe) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Biks 9 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 You do know how to view more source code with the right click select? When you right click on an element, there is a tag on the top of the menu, to the right is a little pop up menu. By selecting within THAT menu, you'll see more elements associated with your selection. Never knew how that worked until recently, I was always pulling up the source code within another browser.

UBotBuddy 331 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I just hold my iPhone up to the screen and press the scan button and wham bamm thank you Mam and the source jumps right into my UBot. Wait...maybe that happens in my iPad. No wait, my Apple laptop? I'm sorry I was dreaming. It was a nightmare btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markpaul 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 i cant agree more. viewing page source is helpful for learning a lot of things. it can be used in many ways. searching for errors when building a webpage, learning your competitions usual codes, can help you analyze how a certain page works, SEO stuff, and a lot more. since you are new to it, you might find a different sorts of codes everytime you view a page source.. good observation leads to a lot of learnings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
