    I need to run a job that finds a hidden input's default value and stores it in a database. SQLDOM is very close to what I need, but the returned DOM in a table strips out the hidden attribute and the default value from inputs. I'm slowly workign my way through spactDOMLoad, but I'm getting lost. Any suggestions on mods I could make to include the default value?

    Thanks,
    --Tim

      Hi, Tim. Good to hear from you.

      The HTML attributes should be parsed out and stored in #tblDOMAttribs

      This should let you JOIN the tag to the attribute, something like this:

      SELECT

      d.Tag,

      d.ID,

      d.Name AS TagName,

      d.TextData,

      a.Name AS AttribName,

      a.Value AS AttribValue

      FROM

      #tblDOMHierarchy d --or you can use #tblDOM

      LEFT JOIN #tblDOMAttribs a ON

      d.DEID = a.DEID
      

      In other words, the default value should be in an Attribute named
      "placeholder", and thus #tbllDOMAttribs.Value should contain the actual
      default value itself.

      Let me know if you have further questions.

      FYI, I'm in the process of moving SQLDOM to GitHub.com, and as I do so I
      will be providing a few updates. (I've kind of neglected the SourceForge
      repository.)

      Sincerely,

      David Rueter
