Hi all,

I am trying to pluck a site that uses <a href="javascript:...">
to jump between different pages. The JavaScript code is easy
to understand: it just takes some arguments and includes them
together with some other form variables in a POST.

I have already verified manually that it is possible to replace
the <a href="javascript"></a> with a <form>...</form>, but this
doesn't really help I guess. Is there any way how I can cause
any of the plucker frontends to trigger a POST operation and then
include the result in the pdb file? Just for the record, I also
tried to translate the POST into a GET by appending the form
variables to the URL, but this didn't work (I only got an empty
document back, perhaps because the URL gets very long). I am not
an HTML expert, but couldn't find anything about it in the quite
complete "selfhtml" documentation.

Ideally, I'd let JPluck transform the starting page with XSLT
automatically. As I have never used XSLT before, I am looking for
an easier way to debug a stylesheet than running JPluck on
a page and looking at the resulting pdb: in particular, it would
be nice to get a serial dump of the parse tree that the stylesheet
is applied to and the result of the transformation.

I tried to run xsltproc on the HTML page, but it is so malformed
that I don't get far with this approach; even HTML tidy failed
to clean it up. JPluck on the other hand plucks the initial page
without problems - I am impressed :-)
