Re^2: How to restore the colors of a webpage when extracting data

Hi ken

Thanks for your reply.

But I am not quite able to figure out how to use HTML::TableExtract to get the table cells as HTML::Element objects.

I am giving a very simple html table below, using the code I have already given above, can you please show me how can I use HTML::Element and get the attributes.

Assume that the page contains the following table :

<html>
<title>Example table </title>
<head> MyTable</head><br><br>
<body>
<table border border ="1">
<tr>
    <td><FONT COLOR = "green">ID</td>
    <td> <FONT COLOR = "blue">NAME</td>
    <td> <FONT COLOR = "RED">DOB</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>XYZ</td>
    <td>1-1-2000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>PQR</td>
    <td>1-11-2000</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

"But I am not quite able to figure out how to use HTML::TableExtract to get the table cells as HTML::Element objects." Really? It's mentioned repeatedly thoughout the HTML::TableExtract documentation (a link I provided yesterday). Within that page, search for the string "`HTML::Element`" and read every section it appears in (which, by a very brief visual inspection, appears to be all of them except AUTHOR and COPYRIGHT). -- Ken	[reply] [d/l]

Well, I was following the instructions in that HTML::TableExtract page. But was not getting anything for the $te->first_table_found call, hence the $table variable was having undefined object and as a result the rest of the code did not run. Would be helpful if you can point out my mistakes.	[reply]
