Re: [Htmlunit-user] Question about scraping object/embed tags from website

[tptaylor <ter...@gm...>]

Hi Ahmed,

Thanks for the reply.  I've been doing some digging, and the script is
actually an event loop thread, and it builds an object tag with embed tags
inside, and adds it to the HTMLDocument of the owning page.   I verified
that it gets added, in HTMLUnit by printing out the owner document of the
object tag.  It's URL corresponds with the page I give it. 

Basically, the javascript creates the object tag as a string, creates an
HtmlDivElement, and then adds the object to the div, through using
div.innerHtml.   The div's owning document is HTMLDocument. 


I have a couple of questions around this.  One is, are HtmlPage and
HtmlDocument one and the same? and so if I call getByXPath on HTMLPage, it
should access the stuff added? even through the use of the innerHtml?  And,
if so, is there a Page listener that listens for additions and removals of
tags from the page?

I'll keep digging to see if I can characterize it more.

Thanks again,

Teryl
