Is it possible to read data from a web page rendered using javascript? Specifically, there is a web page with a countdown timer on it that I believe is populated using javascript. As such the page source does not contain the time as it updates on the page. Is there a way to read that value?
Thanks!
 
In theory you should be able to. It all depends on how it actually does it. What you see as a date may not be. I can't give you a guess on how to look for it exactly, but you can try reading the data Stream (look up Stream) or you might find it if you use a WebBrowser control.
