Pull HTML from an external site

[RayWilson]

Could anyone give me any hints on how to pull HTML elements from an external site? I have and external web page that contains information on various course we run. I have marked up important paragraphs in the page with DIV tags (and their own IDs).

With my main, internal, site I want to pull the data which is contained within these tags fromt he external page and display them. How could I go about parsing these HTML elements from the page?

Any information would be much appreciated!

you'll have to use a combo of cfhttp and mid.

If they're your pages and you have access to them try putting the shared paragraphs in an included file. then CFinclude the paragraph on the site it is intended for, and use cfhttp to just get that page included paragraph on the remote site.
