TheHamburgler Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi,I'm not looking for a full solution here, but a few prods in the right direction would be appreciated.I need to code a simple webpage that will connect to an external website and grab the link to an image. The linked picture will change in time but the html format will not. It's for an Apple widget im working on that will connect to my account on a film rental website and display the DVD covers i request.I'm a bit lost as what to use Javascript, XML, Ajax or a compination of all of them. Thanks for you're time Burgler Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 actually the easiest way, ossibly the only way, is with a server side language.do a google search for "screen scraping" for your language of choice.You'll need to have strong string manipulation and regular expression skills.good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
