Hpricot not returning the right html?

Hi when i get this url

http://www.basketball-bund.net/index.jsp?Action=100&Verband=100

it shows a table with basketball info at page 1

if i want to go to page 2

this is the working url

http://www.basketball-bund.net/index.jsp?Action=100&Verband=100&startrow=10

like it says it starts with the 10th result…

wellif i enter the url into the browser address bar it works fine… but
when i look for the html in Hpricot it just returns the first page…

ive found out that if the startrow bit is wrong then it always shows the
first page… but itseems to be right as its working in the browser…

i got the same problem using

URI.parse

here is my code

q =
Bundesligen

f = open(q)
f.rewind
doc = Hpricot(Iconv.conv(‘utf-8’, f.charset, f.readlines.join(“\n”)))
form = doc.search(“//form[@name=ligaliste]”)

can anyone help me pls

thx

hmmm noone replied… well in case someone hase the same problem… i
have found the solution

q = “Deutscher Basketball Bund
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
doc =
agent.get(“Bundesligen”)
doc = agent.get(q)

doc = doc.search('body').to_html
#convert iso15 to utf8
doc = Iconv.iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-15", doc).to_s
#make it hpricot
doc = Hpricot(doc)
##end crawling
@q = q
form = doc.search("//form")

it seems that its because of cookcies or something… that i needed to
reload the page once before i try to do my own search… thats why i call
the agent.get twice

hope this helps anyone
