I will repeat my contention that the provider has either reformatted their output to your browser or you are not getting the same page somehow.
<span class="timeSpan" id="dirTimeSummary"></span> looks like it should have a text string just before </span> thus it appears that the data you want is missing. Further examination: When I use your url to get the page in a browser, there is a delay before the page appears, this version has no Estimated time, then a refresh occurs and the time now appears. My guess is that the server has changed the way it serves the page and you will likely need to put a wait into your script. Actually, this might mean cannot simply do "put url HTTP into tVar" since it looks like you are being sent a preliminary version with advertising, then the final version. How much work do you want to do to get the Estimated time?
