The page I am acquiring through a WWW::Mechanize object, is on loading calling a javascript code for onload. The code is given below. I have read around, but am not able to figure out how to emulate this javascript function. If somebody could please point me in the appropriate direction. `<script language="javascript"> function window_onload() { document.getElementById("divCal").style.display="block"; document.getElementById("divMessage").style.display="none"; } </script>` [download] Update Ok understood, as i dont have to display the page, only have to scrape it, the above code is not necessary to be emulated by me. Thank you for your help.	[reply] [d/l]

Unless you wish to display the page, you can ignore this code. It's just setting CSS attributes for the elements whose IDs are divCal and divMessage. If you want to understand what's going on, you should learn about DOM.	[reply]
