Data extraction, please help !
hi there
need some help here, I want to get information (stocks exchange values) from this web-site (Amman Stocks Exchange), I want to get the data shown after the insertion of ticker symbols in search field "e.g: DADI, BIND" so that i can put them in a web-site i'm working on, i just want to get the rotating area containing information as is in real time (like if user is visiting this website then entering symbols in search field) , using HTML code or something, can I ??
I'd really appreciate help

I haven't found a way to do this. Sometimes you can do a web capture but it isn't dynamic or interactive like a stock ticker. You might be able to include the whole page but not just the stock ticker section.
Sometimes organizations provide a webservice that enables you to query information and provide your own user interface but I don't know whether the Amman Stock Exchange provides the capability.

can i do so (capturing the whole page) but using a small frame (or viewing space) to view the ticker section only depending on position (X, Y) and size (% according to page) after entering search text in the field ........ ? ASE doesn't seem to provide information query capability.

You might be able to do screenscraping. I know there are different methods to do this:
