There is a pretty cool new site - www.zillow.com (http://www.zillow.com). A friend wanted me to test out his address in California. The main page, even if a correct address is entered from code cannot be parsed as it contains iFrames and a Flash movie. However, by examining the DIV's, you can extract a number which is more or less the property ID. You can then open a summary page with a url such as:
http://www.zillow.com/HomeDetails.z?zprop=17259379
I can place this info into a PDF (see attached jpeg) as part of the script; but it defies a decent web query. Even though the HTML contains several tables, Excel does not recognize them as distinct. They appear within jscript makers of < fieldset > < /fieldset >.
I would like to get something similar to the PDF in Excel if possible. TIA
