access DOM in browser widget?

[Tim Selander]

Sorry to pick up this thread half a year later, but I am 
searching for an answer to a related problem.

On the LiveCode Forums I learned that if the page is loaded in a 
Browser widget on the desktop version of LC, you can [get the 
htmltext of widget "browser"] and get the info JS provides that 
is not part of the page's HTML source code. (In my case, I want 
the number of plays of a track on Soundcloud.)

But I would like to get at this JS/DOM info through an LC Server 
script running on my on-rev.com server -- no browser widget there.

Does anyone know how to get the JS/DOM generated text from a web 
page using LC Server?

Any help appreciated!
