Re: Best way to parse HTML returned from secure server

Can you provide a striped down version of the page (in code tags) or a link to a site that demonstrates the problem.

From your scanty description it seems likely that the JavaScript provides a signature of some sort to the server so that the server side code knows that JavaScript is enabled. That may be a tricky problem to solve!

Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees

Since the page is public anyway... here's the URL: https://admin8.gtc.edu/wa/wa?&TOKENIDX=3292319802&CONSTITUENCY=WBST&type=M&pid=ST-XWBSTS I want to be able to go through to the "Search for Classes" link. Then I want to be able to tell the form to search for something specific, return the results, parse with perl, and include just the specific information I asked for... like Course Name or anything like that. I'm sorry it is complicated. I'm newish to Perl.	[reply]
