Web Scraper&trade

This is a simple utility to demonstrate my web scraping functions. These ASP functions allow you to read, parse, and display content from another web page and display it on your own. Examples of content to scrape: weather forecast, quote of the day, current stock price, headlines, photo of the day, etc.

Hint: Use the default values below to scrape the Photo of the Day (POTD) thumbnail from Supercars.net. Just keep clicking the Scrape Text button. Scroll down to view the ASP code and the results (which should be a thumbnail of a Supercar).

Step One: Indicate the Source URL


ex: http://www.supercars.net
(This step makes use of my gethtml() function)
