HTML::Tree look_down is not working

[Kanishka.black0]

use strict;
use warnings;
use YAML;
use HTML::Tree;
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response =
$ua->get('http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/moviedetail.asp?mid=H002
+927');
my $content1 = $response->content;
my $tree = HTML::Tree->new();
$tree->parse($content1);
my $article = $tree->look_down(_tag=>'form',id=>'raaga');
my $table = $article->look_down(_tag=>'table',class=>'dataTbl',width=>
+"450");
print Dump $table;

$table should be populate with a table .. but that;s not happening ...
my $table = $tree->look_down(_tag=>'table',class=>'dataTbl',width=>"450");
but if i try this way its getting the table .
$tree -- > HTML CODE
$article --> $tree ->look down a form with id
$table --> $article -> narrowing the tree with a table which has class
$table is not populate

but

$tree -- > HTML CODE
$table -->$tree-> narrowing the tree with a table which has class

Running your code the HTML in $article (cut down) looks like

<form 
  action="" 
  id="raaga" 
  method="get" 
  name="raaga" 
  onsubmit="return validate(this);"
>
  <table 
    align="center" 
    border="0" 
    cellpadding="1" 
    cellspacing="2" 
    height="100%" 
    width="100%"
  >
    <tr>
     <!-- snipped -->
    </tr> 
  </table> 
</form>

There is one table but it doesn't have an id attribute. It has a width attribute of 100%. So your

my $table = $article->look_down(_tag=>'table',class=>'dataTbl',width=>
+"450");

won't find anything ($table will be undef).

There is a lot of javascript. When I point Firefox at that url the response does not contain a form with an id of raaga. What does the page look like when you log in?

Give a bit more detail on what you are trying to do.

Sure. Just tell us what is "not working". What goes in, what comes out, what do you expect to come out instead?
