How to past parameters via a URL

Post by breecy »

I am working to automate pulling ex-div information off of the following web site:
http://dividendinvestor.com/tracker.php

I have found in the code that the NAME="rad1" VALUE="2009-6-30" checked is the code that shows which date is selected
following this address will return the proper date selection: http://dividendinvestor.com/tracker.php ... ck="return validown()
------------------------------
and the following code sends the radio button selection for ex-divs to ther server:
<td width=90 nowrap><div align="center"><A HREF="javascript:gosubmit('div_ex_date')">Div.<br><INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="srad" value="ex" checked >Ex Date</A></div></td>
following this address will return the div-ex-date selection: http://dividendinvestor.com/tracker.php ... _ex_date')

But I can not get the two to work together.

I cannot understand the question properly. if you could use the code tags,that would help also. From what i do understand,it sounds like you want to do more of a text search, rather than getting parameters, which you pass on from a previous script. It sounds like a regex would be needed for this

The Firefox extensions Tamper Data and Firebug are useful for this sort of thing.
