>>At DevCon, Ken Levy showed how he can pull stock information from the web. He has a hidden page on his web site. Behind the scenes, the web application reads the HTML from MSNBC and converts the pertinent information into XML, then sends it to the browser. So, while the answer is yes, you can automate it...I don't know how. If you can find an XML source for the information, it would be MUCH easier.

I don't think you can see how it is done. But you can switch over to the XML forum area of the UT and post your questions there. Ken Levy is the SysOp there.
