in reply to Parsing AJAX-based website

Take a look at AHAH, a subset of Ajax that is much easier and does much of the same. Also, no XML—I just don't need the power of XML for basic Web forms, so I don't have to deal with the overhead of parsing XML (although there are some CPAN modules to help). I had my first AHAH/Perl example built in about an hour (created a select tag dynamically based on user choices).

    How is AHAH supposed to help someone trying to scrape an existing AJAX site?
