Re^2: Parsing AJAX-based website

in thread Parsing AJAX-based website

I am trying to parse a website and the site loads a basic page that I can get with mechanize-get($url). But the Tags and Page data that I want to get is not found content. I think its an ajax call. I do not know how to get my script to get the tags. When I look at google chrome(element inspect), ie(F12 key), mozilla firebug all of them show the tags that I am looking for. But how do I get to the tags. Help will be appreciated.

WWW::Mechanize states that it does not support JavaScript. Use something that does. Using WWW::Selenium To Test Or Automate An Ajax Website, WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, Super Search.	[reply]

Look at the Net tab in firebug or 'Network' tab on chrome and find all the requests going out. Identify the request you are interested in - find out how that part is constructed ( based on the AJAX code that is present ) and make that call. As a note some of the modules mentioned above do this for you.	[reply]
