Ok, I'm stumped.

I'm trying to extract data from a field on a dynamic web page. For an example, please go to

Dojo Demo

In this example, I'd like to extract 'Alexander' from the second row.

How the heck do I do this?

I've tried:

• WWW::Mechanize -- no joy, it doesn't get the dynamic data.
• WWW::Selenium -- can't figure out how to extract data (or even if I can)
• Selenium::Remote::Driver -- can't figure out how to extract data (or even if I can)
• WWW::HtmlUnit -- can't figure out how to extract data (or even if I can)

ARRGGGH! Has anyone done this, or can anyone point me in the right direction? I will be eternally grateful...

Dave
