Collect data (text) from another webbsite 1

[Busken]

Hi,
i start everyday at work checking NordPool (a stock market) but i want to put the numbers on my own customized start page.
Now to the problem. Im not that good at php so i want to solve this using html if possible.
I want to take a text from

http://wwwdynamic.nordpool.com/marketinfo/elspot/stockholm/elspot.cgi

and present it on my page.
Any ideas?
I have looked for the numbers (todays price) on a rss-feed but without luck.
I hope you understand my question despite my, sometimes, poor english.

Best regards, Erik.

To do this client-side, you'd need to embed their page in an iframe, as-is (i.e. you get the whole lot).

If you want only selective bits of information, you would have to use server-side scraping of some description (or a server-side proxy so you could client-side scrape from the same domain). Either way, you need to do some server-side work, so I'd advise asking in the PHP forum (assuming you use PHP).

Hope this helps,
Dan
