Subject: Re: How to extract links of a particular class type

Hi Peter,

I need to fetch some information from http://www.ebay.in.
My required fields are : Name of the product, Image, Price and the link 
to that product.

am able to get the data using this method.
require 'rubygems'
require 'scrubyt'

  google_data = Scrubyt::Extractor.define do
    fetch          'http://www.ebay.in'
    fill_textfield 'satitle', 'ipod shuffle'
    submit

    record 
"/html/body/div[2]/div[4]/div[2]/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/div[3]/div/div/table/tr" 
do
      name "/td[2]/div/a"
      price "/td[5]"
      image "/td/a/img" do
          url "src", :type => :attribute
      end
      link "/td[2]/div/a" do
          url "href", :type => :attribute
      end
    end

  end

 google_data.to_xml.write($stdout, 1)

but my problem is for some products its not working properly. (div may 
be changed). is there any better solution for this?

Thanks in advance,
Vipin
