Thanks for your input. This is a really simple code to grab the html
code and works great. Is there also a way to grab the text shown on
the webpage rather than the html code? For example, the text on pages
that are javascript (such as Yahoo Finance stock quotes) do not show
on the html code. I would like to be able to copy the text even it is
javascript. Thanks.
