It can be done using client side script, but you need to use the MSXML Http Request object (IE only).
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function getLinks(){
var httpReq = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");
httpReq.open("Get", "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com",[/URL] false);
httpReq.send();
var newObj = document.createElement('div');
newObj.innerHTML = httpReq.responseText;
var links = newObj.getElementsByTagName('a');
var resultStr = '';
for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++){
resultStr = resultStr + links[i].href + '<br />';
}
document.getElementById('Results').innerHTML = resultStr;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="getLinks();">
<div id="Results"></div>
</body>
</html>That code above was awesome. I used it above to connect to a Lotus Notes view to genenerate a new layout of the data. But since JavaScript is excecuted on the client side, it takes a long time.
How can I do this in ASP/VBScript?
I am stuck on what the eqivalent of var newObj = document.createElement('div'); is in ASP.
Dim httpReq
Dim newObj
Set httpReq = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLhttp"
httpReq.open "Get", "somepage.html", false
httpReq.send
Thanks
