Getting data from a webpage
:wave:
I have this site which gives stock quotes.

I want to write a program that retrieves data from this page periodically.
I know the use of Inet but it does not seem to work in this case probably because this page is Java based. What is the way out?
Re: Getting data from a webpage
One way would be to use a webbrowser control in the background. There are other controls like Inet but I don't know of any that can run java

Thank you.
Re: Getting data from a webpage
If the data you want is generated from a Java Applet you may have some problems retrieving that data.
Re: Getting data from a webpage
Yeah, that data is in the Java program (applet) not anywhere in text/readable form like the HTML source code.
Re: Getting data from a webpage
Well, there might be a way through the WebBrowser control but I will have to take a look at some old code I have that extracted some things from an Applet.
EDIT
Just rememberd. When the Applet is loaded into memory it becomes a window process and is therefor accessable through some API's (don't remember which ones) very much like any other process running but I think it has to be addressed through the browser as a child. Something like that.
