jQuery Simulate Click and Load content from URL

using the hash of a URL we can load certain dynamic content automatically. We can utilize jquery's ability to simulate events.

I don't know if this is asking too much but maybe you're in a generous mood..

I'm doing a PHP fopen on a URL link in order to read the contents of the page and "scrape" off the information I need. Is there a way for Jquery to simulate clicking on all possible links on a page (even within Flash) and then simply record what happens as a result of the click? In this case the onlick fires a javascript function that sends a tracking tag to Omniture via a querystring.

@restavil Not via a website. If you made a browser plugin you could do this.

Is this the equivalent of saving states? Not really I am guessing though we are simulating a change in state visually by changing the background color.

@amit2076 Well it's not saving a state per say. But the goal Is to give the page uniquess when JavaScript has manipulated the content

@amit2076 You will need to use cookies to save the changes that jquery or any javascript code made to the page.

Or you can use a mysql database to save tha changes that every user of your site do.

I think i helped!!
