[8:33] <emilis_info> Is it possible to use jquery inside Helma? And is it convenient? I am thinking of writing a web scrapper
[9:05] <simono> yeah jquery can run in helma, like so http://ejohn.org/blog/bringing-the-browser-to-the-server/
[9:06] <simono> you would retrieve html from within helma and scrap it with jquery?
[10:19] <emilis_info> simono, I think so
[10:20] <emilis_info> I want to create RSS services for some goverment websites. So the algorithm would be: 1. get the page html from website, 2. cut out content part with jquery 3. store it in a database
[10:56] <simono> imo it would be easier to find a java-library similar to pythons BeautifulSoup
[10:57] <simono> seems to me jquery on rhino isn't widely used.. there must be a java lib that parses all the shitty html that is our there :) and using the java-lib in helma is trivial
[10:57] <simono> emilis_info, ^^
[10:57] <emilis_info> heh
[10:57] <emilis_info> I would rather use PHP then ;-)
[10:58] <emilis_info> It seems that John Ressig is continuing development of env.js: http://github.com/thatcher/env-js
[10:59] <emilis_info> So I guess I'll try to glue things up, when I find time :)
[10:59] <emilis_info> anyway. simono, thanks for the link you provided -- it was what I've been looking for
[10:59] <emilis_info> :)
[10:59] <simono> alright, glad it helped
[10:59] <emilis_info> :)
