    Streaming Data behind a Java Script

    Hi All,

    I am looking to stream data from a website that is behind a java script. Specifically the website is here:

    http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agri...penOutcry.html

    If you click the link, you will notice that the website takes a few moments before it starts retrieving the data from its actual source. I've tried using the "Get Data from an External Web Page" tool, but it doesn't stream the data because all I get is data before it starts streaming from the actual source. (In other words I get a bunch of hyphens.)

    Is there anyway to obtain the data that comes a few seconds after?

    Specifically I am hoping to obtain the value in the "Prior Settle" column, so I don't need the data to actually stream. I just require the closing price of the contract. I'm looking to use whatever tip / macro you guys give me, across different markets so it would also be helpful if you clarify what else I might need to change when looking at a different market.

    P.S. If that page is not behind a java script and it is being blocked by something else, please let me know and I'll edit the title accordingly. Thanks for all the help!!!

    Hi BlastRanger,

    That doesn't help because I currently do that. The point of streaming it would be so that I don't have to copy and paste it for the all the markets that I follow. (I follow well over 20 so it becomes quite tedious to copy and paste every day.)
