I'm working with a client who has permission to use some of the contents of another website (he's a car salesman and the other site is his dealership's car listings). I've used curl() to grab the listings and preg_replace() to make some textual changes like altering the contact information to show his details. However, the other website uses a Javascript pager for its listings and when I output the altered code, this pager no longer works. The pager links don't load anything--the page just remains the same when they're clicked on.
Here is how the site I'm 'curling' is set up:
It has this form element to start:
<form name="ctl00" method="post" action="http://originalsite" id="ctl00">
Then, a button that loads the next page is this:
<input type="submit" name="btnNextUpper" value="Next >" id="btnNextUpper" />
And, the links for the pager looks like this:
<a href="javascript:__doPostBack('dgInventory$ctl01$ctl01','')">2</a>
The Javascript is this:
Code: Select all
</div><script type="text/javascript">
\/\/<![CDATA[
var theForm = document.forms['ctl00'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.ctl00;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit();
}
}
\/\/]]>
</script>
