Dana, I think the problem is that we're having a hard time envisioning it. Can you post a snippet of the html? That would give us a better idea of what you're wanting to do. If that's not possible, all I can say is that I use ruby regularly to parse through xml/html files and grab just the data I need. Something may be possible in CF that's similar. The process I use is to grab the html file (and equivalent cfhttp) and then parse the document as an xml file (a stronger version of xmlparse). Then you can use xpath expressions to get at the data.
