Hi all, I browse a website([Word of the Day - twee | Dictionary.com](http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/)) 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 ---

If you’re not familiar with that, start here: [http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html#edef-FRAMESET](http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/frames.html#edef-FRAMESET) HTH, ---

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 ---

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.
