I am trying to get all the data from <a href="http://www.nationwide.com/locator/home/index.x?lineOfBusiness=insurance_agent&locatorhome=fromhome&language=" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationwide.com/locator/home/index.x?lineOfBusiness=insurance_agent&locatorhome=fromhome&language=</a> every state listed there. Basically the name, address, email, etc. My problem is: <ol> <li>There is no URL parameters for me to iterate through the states from the drop down.</li> </ol> I am willing to iterate through the states manually but then is there any way I can just select on one div and copy content/text from all similar DIVs. I mean you can see there is a tag there inside which they have whole content. How do I extract the text from all occurrences of text inside the tag? I am not particular about any scripting language, Php, perl python or even a simple firefox addon... I just need the result. Any guidance please? <hr> My try using web harvest <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <config charset="ISO-8859-1">  <http> <http method="post" url="http://www.nationwide.com/locator/home/index.x?lineOfBusiness=insurance_agent&locatorhome=fromhome&language="> <http-param name="state">AL</http-param> <http-param name="searchType">proximity_search</http-param> <http-param name="requestSource">home_NI</http-param> <http-param name="businessType">NI</http-param> <http-param name="language">en</http-param> <http-param name="UserAddressCookieAction">createUserAddressCookie</http-param> </http>  </config> </code></pre>

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.
