rslota,

You would be hard pressed to be able to do that with out an anchor on that persons page to limit the display to just the information you wanted.

I don't think you would be able to keep the display limited to just a small selection unless you could hard code the height and width of the table and then got lucky...

Try to use 'HTTP calls'.
This is a method used to call a specific URL, and it returns a string with its HTML. When you have the string, it's quite easy to parse it.
BUT, you must be familiar with programming, and I don't know if you are.
If you wish, I will write full explanation about the HTTP calls and what you can do with it.
It shouldn't be that hard to do even with JavaScript. If you're able to upload the page in javascript and sift through the code, you can find the tags you want to have and just insert them somewhere in your page. Otherwise I don't know any other sollution than building your own server module and do it with a 'normal' programming language...

I am advanced HTML-designer. But I don't know, how to get informations from URL address, because I work with graphics and basic JavaScripts only. Can you tell me short example (step-by-step), how to solve my problem?

Thank you very much!
