OK, I have the following:
var xpath = '/HTML/BODY/DIV/DIV/DIV/TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD/DIV';
var elmts = utilities.gatherElementsOnXPath(doc, doc, xpath);
var gAddressParts = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < elmts.length; i++) {
gAddressParts.push(elmts[i].innerHTML);
}
var gAddress = gAddressParts.join(', ');
var latlong = window.content.location.href.split('spn=')[1];
and a URL matching pattern, but I'm not sure how to fit this into
Solvent's code template to make the final scraper.
Any hints?
