Hi,
I like the iFrame method for that.
At first, after you have searched for something on amazon.com, you
have to create an invisible iFrame somewhere in the document. One can
find howtos for that on the web. Let's call the iFrame iframe.
Then I would probably suggest something similar to the following code:
oneResult=document.getElementById("result_"+0);
while(oneResult != null) {
linkToBookDetails = oneResult.lastChild.firstChild.getAttribute
("href");
iframe.location.href = link;
publisher = parseThePublisher(); // parse it out of iframe.document
// here you can add the publisher to the main-document
oneResult=document.getElementById("result_"+i);
i++;
}
I would parse the publisher with the XPath: /html/body/div[3]/table[2]/
tbody/tr/td/div/ul/li[3]. Probably that's the easiest way. If you
don't know how to deal with that look to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Introduction_to_using_XPath_in_JavaScript.
Maybe that helps ^^.

Gerhard
