    <p>I am writing a program that will allow people to make their class schedule for the following quarter. In order to do this, I need to extract all the classes available for next quarter. The way my school has their course catalog set up makes it a little hard to extract the info, but if you are able to help me automate a few commands, I think it will be easy.</p> <p>Here is the university catalog: <a href="http://my.sa.ucsb.edu/public/curriculum/coursesearch.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://my.sa.ucsb.edu/public/curriculum/coursesearch.aspx</a> You will see that you need to: - Load the page - Choose subject area from pull down - Choose quarter from pull down - Choose class level from pull down - Trigger the search button - Repeat for all subject areas From there, I have written my code so that I just save the page as $SUBJECTAREA.aspx And I have a few scripts to extract the data from it. I want to be able to trigger this script on my server, so that I can update my course list at anytime directly to the server.</p> <p>My real question is how should I approach this problem? I have looked at SimpleTest, which is a php testing solution that has a browser function. Although, with the limited time I have been playing with it, I'm not sure this is the solution I want.</p> <p>I think that jQuery was another choice I found online to possible do this, but I do not know enough to know for sure.</p> <p>Basically I just want to know how I should go about doing this task, and maybe a resource online to get me started in that direction. I am more than capable of figuring it out once I am pointed in a certain direction.</p> <p>Thanks all!</p>

    1. COYou want to update your schedule dynamically when user is on the page right? If yes, you can set an Interval for your page and do an AJAX feedback then you're able to get new data from your storage device and then show them here. Easy.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
