Is this a Javascript issue ?

Other - Is this a Javascript issue ?
Hello all,

I wish to do the following:

Write a short script/program that works with
Mozilla Firefox and Excell spreadsheet.

I want to be able to open a webpage lets say this one (its mine)

http://www.developers-host.com/


www + developers-host + .com

(Just in case I am not allowed to post a link)

and look in the source code for: <img src="images/clear.gif"
I then want to strip out the name of my image (clear.gif)
and place it in my spredsheet.

The spreadsheet will be ope in another window
in Microsoft Excell and will be named "my_images.xls"

The active cell should then be moved down one row so
it is ready to insert the next image name.
The script should find and write all the names in that brwser page.

Is this a difficult script to write - should I use javascript ?
or is
visual basic or
php
or something else ?


OR - maybe there is a Moz FF plugin already ?
How can I find it ?

Thanks for any advice
Greg.

Not possbile with javascript I'm afraid... This would be a VB thing -- but you're not going to be able to work with Mozilla if you use that..

You could achieve this with PHP as well using CSV files but you wouldn' be able to interact with Excel directly with PHP..

Perhaps there is an easier way to do what you want.. what is it that the spread sheet is for?

My boss wants a list of all the images that we have used on our website pages ( hundreds ) plus on other sites - he gave me a list.

I think that a php or vb solution is necassary.
Actuall it doesn't have to use a browser or excell.
Thinking about it, so long as it goes to the website, looks at the source ans spits out a csv or xls that can be imported into Excel - that would be fine.

I desk top exe would do or a php that I would get put on our server
any further ideas ?

If it's a standard CSV, it shouldn't be too difficult with PHP.
I don't quite understand what you're trying to do though.
