Re: [Htmlunit-user] Populating a Dynamic Webpage

[Alain B. <alb...@gm...>]

I don't have too much experience with it But I will try something like that:

WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_24);
            HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage("http://yourpage.com");

HtmlDivision div = page.getHtmlElementById("introductionDate");

String content = div.getTextContent();

Regards
Alain
