Re: Ruby(and programming) beginners question regarding 'NoMethodError' while using Hpricot

From: Estanislau Trepat <estanis@...>

List: ruby-talk #378655
Hi Sandeep.

The #next_sibling method was not working because you were using it on the
whole elements array (in fact, an Hpricot::Elems object) and not on each of
the elements inside. That's because we had to use elements.first to get the
first node which met our search criteria and then call #next_sibling on that
node. The #next_sibling method is only defined on each of those nodes not on
the array itself.

I apologize for the * characters, I think I was trying to put that part in
bold and got bad formatting out of my email client.

For the problem you expose, maybe you could try using Watir<http://watir.com/>.
It drives a real web browser, and can thus handle Javascript links.

If you allow me a suggestion: Taking a look at the page you're trying to
scrape and the structure of the query parameters, I'd suggest to extract the
total number of results from the bottom part which reads "Showing 1 - 200 of
3529". If you extract that last number (the total number of results) then
you could point your scraping script to:
http://money.rediff.com/companies/all/1-3529 without needing to follow
javascript links.

Hope it helps.

Regards.
