I have a problem once again where I cant find the source code because its hidden or something… When my java program indexes the page it finds everything but the info i need… I assume its hidden for a reason but is there anyway around this?

Its just a bunch of tr/td tags that show up in firebug but dont show up when viewing the page source or when i do below

URL url = new URL("my url");
            URLConnection yc = url.openConnection();
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yc.getInputStream()));
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {

I really have no idea how to attempt to get the info that i need…

    The reason for this behavior is because probably those tags are dynamically injected into the DOM using javascript and are not part of the initial HTML which is what you can fetch with an URLConnection. They might even be created using AJAX. You will need a javascript interpreter on your server if you want to fetch those.
