Based on replies I have received (thanks for them) I don't think I
explained the situation properly. Let me try again: Until a month
ago, I was able to retrieve the drive time between two zip codes by
using (for example):
put "http://www.mapquest.com/maps/01778/03861/" into bunchofText
Up until about a month ago, bunchofText would contain (for example):
Total Estimated Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
Therefore, it was a simple matter of using offset("Total Estimated
Time:", bunchofText) to retrieve the drive time between two zip codes.
Then, suddenly my script didn't work. Using Variable Watcher I found
that bunchofText now contains some mysterious code. It now looks like
this:
Total Estimated Time: <span class="timeSpan" id="dirTimeSummary"></
span>
Obviously, I now can't retrieve the drive time. Does anyone have any
ideas what I should do? Incidentally, I have tried using revBrowser.
But when I use the following script:
on mouseup
put the windowid of this stack into tWinID
put "http://www.mapquest.com/maps/01778/03861/" into tAddress
put revBrowserOpen(tWinID,tAddress) into tBrowserID
revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "showborder","true"
revBrowserSet tBrowserID, "rect",rect of img "browserimage"
put revBrowserGet(tBrowserID,"htmltext")
end mouseup
Revolution crashes
Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!
Thanks
