wininet with javascript   

hello,

i am connecting to a web-server and assign two post variables to a
*.php file via the wininet-lib. till this point everything is working,
but the file also contains javascript which does not get executed. i
need the output of the javascript for the further continuation of my
program.


is there a way to get this working, with wininet or some other method?

 You need to link in a javascript interpreter (like mozilla's 
spidermonkey), pass the javascript to that, and it'll give you the results 
of evaluating the script -- you can then start again from there.

Re: wininet with javascript   

hello,

i found on wikipedia (german version, i think quoting is senseless),
that spidermonkey does not support the Document Object Model, so i
guess that it is not possible to call functions like
document.getElementById, which i need to fetch content from the html
body...

do you have got an advice?

 Sorry, I don't know where you'd go there -- I was only using spidermonkey 
to evaluate WPAD-style "which proxy server do I use" stuff. 

 One (difficult) solution would be to declare those external functions 
yourself, pass them into the spidermonkey evaluator, and implement 
getElementByID yourself; pass the HTML into some sort of HTML-to-DOM 
converter somehow? I'm just guessing, I haven't tried this myself.
 
 You could also see if there's an appropriate forum on 
forums.mozillazine.org to ask about spidermonkey; searching, there's been 
some questions in the past, so it could be worth a try.
