Re: Using perl to read multiple html frames

Well, what do you mean be "see the 2nd and 3rd frames"? A frameset is an HTML Document as any other and you can extract the URIs of the frames out of that frameset using HTML::Parser (or similar). Have a look at http://w3.org/TR/html4 to see what a frameset looks like.

I understand what you are saying about the frame being just another html document, and I understand how to build the frames and how they are presented to the browser. ..... 10 minutes pass ..... Nevermind. I figured out how the site was calling the frame I wanted to get the data from. First frame (the only one perl was seeing) called in the frame I labelled as the '3rd'. That frame then created the one I wanted the data from. Please excuse my lack of brainpower this morning. I think I used it all up trying to figure out some Windows/IE issues. Yeah, yeah, I think the same as most sane people about Windows, etc. The best part about Windows is that these things take constant administration. Job security without having to create it myself!
