    <p>As you've mentioned in the comments, the data is all in the HTML to start (I'm guessing it's greyed out in your Firebug screenshot since it's a hidden element). This approach avoids the complexity of trying to automate a browser. Here's a rough outline of how I would get the data:</p> <ul> <li><p>Download the HTML for the whole page - I'd do this manually at first (i.e. File > Save from a browser), and if there are a bunch of pages you want to process, figure out how to download all the pages you want later. If you want to use python for this part, I'd recommend <a href="http://docs.python.org/2/library/urllib2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">urllib2</a>. The URLs for each page are probably pretty structured, so you could easily store them in a list, and download each one and save it locally. .</p></li> <li><p>Write a script to parse the HTML - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/regex-match-open-tags-except-xhtml-self-contained-tags/1732454#1732454">don't use regex</a>. Since you're using Python, use something like <a href="http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Beautiful Soup</a>, which will create a nice object representation of the page, and then you can get the elements you want.</p></li> </ul> <p>You mention you're new to python, so there's definitely going to be a learning curve around this, but this actually sounds like a pretty doable project to use to learn some more python.</p> <p>If you run into specific obstacles with each step, start a new question with a bit of sample code, showing what you're trying to accomplish, and people will be more than willing to help out.</p>

    1. COSorry, I must not have said that right. The data doesn't appear to be in the HTML. If I look at the source, it's not in there. If I grab the page's HTML, the data isn't in there either.

Guidance
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.
