Formatting parsed TV Guide HTML listingsby hacker (Priest) |
on Jun 19, 2003 at 23:25 UTC ( [id://267385]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
hacker has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I just whipped up a quick bit of code to scrape the TVGuide listings for a given zipcode and subscriber type (Cable, Sattelite, Antenna), and dump them to the screen (for now). I'm trying to figure out a better way to format these, visually, so that at some point, they end up as HTML, in a display that is NOT using HTML tables to display them (no CSS allowed either).
Here's the working code I have so far, try it out.
The end goal should return a nice easy-to-read set of listings, not using HTML tables, so they can be displayed on a Palm device. It's more of a proof-of-concept for now, but I'm looking for some ideas on how I might be able to format this better. Perhaps keeping the date/time rows above each listing itself? Some other ideas? Some other module I might leverage? Thanks everyone.
