If you simply download the HTML file you'll see the data is *not*
embedded in it but loaded from some other file.
If I load the page I see a big blank square with "WAAAAAH! No Javascript!"
Surely if I can see the data in my browser I can grab it somehow
in a script?
No. Not necessarily. It depends upon how much is an image and how much
is text. In theory, you could grab the text, but the level of
Javascript wrapping can make it more or less painful.
Why do you continue to fight the Microsoft finance site? Yahoo finance
gives you the same info and seems to be a lot friendlier in terms of web
standards.
Even Google finance seems better. They demand Javascript, but at least
they actually show you the Javascript inline. At least, that way, you
could pull the data yourself.
