Get content of site

How do I get the content of a specific div-tag on a website that was populated with javascript/AJAX?

(very short first post -- haha)

Good :) what was the solution?

None :P I didn't need to get it. The javascript that fetched the string to insert into the DIV was already on the page, i.e. they didn't load it from a database or some PHP-script. They simply had it like:

Code:

<script>
getElementById("DIVELEMENT").innerText = "Text I wanted to fetch";
</script>

So I simply parsed that instead to get the text I wanted to fetch :)
Why they choose to do it like that, I have no idea but I don't mind. Made my day a lot easier!
