I need to automate a process that involves getting data from a series of links on a website.
Greasemonkey could do the job, but I can’t get the content from inside that link.

The link looks like this:

<a id="ctl00_main_gvPolite_ctl02_lbDetaliiPolita" title="Detalii polita" class="icon16 icon-detalii" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$main$gvPolite$ctl02$lbDetaliiPolita','')"></a>

This would be the important part: javascript:__doPostBack(‘ctl00$main$gvPolite$ctl02$lbDetaliiPolita’,”)

I can’t find that function defined anywhere in the javascript, it’s only used at various points.

A frame pops up over the website displaying the content I need. After I get it in a variable I can just send it to a script on my server for processing.

    For anyone interested, I was missing an input called __VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED
    It’s further down the page in the source code, just include it in your $.post(); or whatever you use and it will work.

    All credit goes to MaxArt for this one. Thank you!
