Re: Extract specific div element from page

Or you could just use Javascript combined with PHP, just use javascript it's something like this document.getElementById('tagId').innerHtml that will give you the html(contents) of the <div> tag you specify. Then just do something like document.form.value = document.getElementById('tagId').innerHtml. Basicly you're setting a hidden form element to have the value of the div, then when you submit the page, you have the content as $_POST['formYouSetTo']. You could have the JS execute on the submit button's onclick. It should be relatively easy if you look up the exact syntax of the javascript. - Daniel ""Anthony Hiscox"" <distatica@melknight.net> wrote in message news:6dfcba5e0706151440p19d81dccrddda1633339827e5@mail.gmail.com...

Hey folks, I need to pull the contents inside of a specific div out of a page, and write it to a separate file. In this instance I am taking everything inside of <div id="content"></div> tags from a wordpress blog, this will give me only the content and not the menus, or other stuff. I need to do this because the final document will be converted for viewing on a palm pilot. Is anyone aware of a simple solution to this problem, short of parsing the entire page and starting when I hit that div opening tag, and stopping when I hit the closing tag? One problem I can see with this method is that I would have to count divs inside of that div, otherwise I would end too early on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Peace and Love, distatica. -- --------------------------------- Anthony Hiscox Video Watch Group Public Site Currently Under Development Group Members Site Fully Operational ---------------------------------
