Hello,

This is my third try at this posting. Something must be wrong with my
setup. Here's one last try. I'm looking for a Java HTML parser that will let
me parse checkbox names/values as well as their text labels. I need to write
a Java program that GETs a web page, processes it, then POSTs the desired
choices. I have seen many good parsers, but none that let me do what I want
without a lot of fuss.

TIA,
Adam

Why don't you use a Regex with a Matches group to extract that
information from the HTML -- write your own parser basically.

And it is the third time I see it. Was there anything wrong with the
previous eight or so answers you got?

Presumably he can't see them any more than he can see his own posts.

(FWIW, I've emailed him directly to say that his posts /are/ showing up, I
daresay I'm not the only one to do so...)

Hey.

Try to google this thing
HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback
Not the best HTML parser ever but it does job.

Hello all,

I finally got to see my post and all your kind responses. I still don't
have a good answer to my original post though. I am looking for a Java HTML
parser that would let me decode all the names, values and labels of a bunch
of checkboxes on a web page. I then want to present the info to my user and
POST a response. I guess what I am after is more like a simple interpreter
or browser. This is a labor of love for my wife actually. We homeschool our
children using a curriculum from Bob Jones University. They broadcast their
classes over satellite and have a web site to indicate schedules and such. I
want to be able to GET the class options and POST her choices
programmatically. I already have code that can digitally record the shows.
What I am missing is the ability to download and process the schedules.

TIA,
Adam
