Hello, I am looking for a way to continuously (maybe every 10 minutes), scrape an ASP page to look for schedule changes where it can then notify me of the change. What is confusing me is that all pages show the same URL, so I am not sure how to specify a specific URL, or is it not possible? to see what I mean, go to http://www.nes.com/Events.asp?MO=2 you can then click on the Mite event, or Presidents day event etc.... once there clicking on the schedule button will show that events schedule. But I noticed that the URL when viewing the schedule is the same no matter which event I am viewing... is there a way to find out a specific URL? or some way to download to a file the schedule every x minutes to look for changes? thanks!! John
