Get HTML From outside URL

[asmith555]

I am trying to get the HTML from an outside URL into a string in asp. I dont want the asp code from the Outside source just the resulting HTML. Any Suggestions or Ideas.

You need to specify more what you are trying to do. This may be a Server URL encoding answer. But it depends on what you are trying to do. Some people say they are afraid of heights. With me its table widths.

I think you may be looking to scrape the html from a page like another recent post, look here: thread333-408505
to see if this solves what you are trying to do. You may or may not need the portion that grabs a small portion of the page, you probably only need the portion up to the point where the html page is assigned into a string variable.

That is exactly what I needed, however, random question marks are appearing in the text. any way to handle this?

Hmm, not sure what you mean, could you post the address you are trying to scrape? Maybe they have some kind of strange endcoding or something, I could take a look this afternoon when I finish work.
