Pulling text from another page with tables

[random]

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions on how I would go about getting the information from one cell in a table on another page into a form on my site?
thank you.

If the cell you want to pull text from has a

name

or

id

attribute, it will be relatively easy to do, otherwise it will be a bit harder.

You need to use some server side languages like Perl or PHP.

In Perl you could use LWP module to fetch the page from another server, then you could use regexp to strip out the cell you want.

It all depends...

You can do it client side with javascript and a hidden iframe, or by window aliasing, also. :)
