gevo12321 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if there is any way to save data from HTML files. The page refreshes every 10 seconds with new data and I was wondering if it would be possible to automate saving the data on the page every 10 seconds and put it into an excel spreadsheet. I know that this is probably the wrong forum, but I guess its worth a try. thanks!

cssfreakie Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 not with pure html. html is stateless You need either php, or ajax to do what you want. Those 2 flavours allow more dynamic interaction. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246648-saving-data-from-html-code/#findComment-1266616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevo12321 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I want to write a program to save the data into an excel spreadsheet. I want to be able to run the program from any computer with an internet connection not necessarily a server. I don't think PHP will work because it is server-side and I don't have access to the server but the server posts data on a page in HTML every 10 seconds and I'd like to save that data. Hope that describes it. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/246648-saving-data-from-html-code/#findComment-1266621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
