Why this website address doesn't change

Ruby
1

Hi all,

I browse a
website(Word of the Day - twee | Dictionary.com)
and jump from one link to another link. I notice that the address is
still the same even I jump to a new page. Which more is that I can not
see the content of the page using IE source view. In this case where
should I start if I want to parse the page and extract some info of
interest?

Thanks,

Li

The page is constructed using frames.

If you’re not familiar with that, start here:

HTH,

But why can’t I see frameset and frame tags in the source view?

Actually, I take it back – it’s using an iframe and a lot of
JavaScript.

But you should see all that using view source of any browser.

Part of the source view looks like the following

The link in “src” is actually the one I am interested in.
If I paste the value for src attribute into the IE browser I can go to a
new page which is familiar/(regular one) to me. And I have no problem to
extract the information I want.

Thank you very much,

Li
