Table2Clipboard
Table2Clipboard no help in getting at form-based teacher data
The software fails to copy hyperlinks from results table.
Table2Clipboard was not created to help query data on a form-based site, so the task of scraping this database of teachers was too complex -- and it was only able to copy some of the content we wanted after performing manual searches.
To see how Table2Clipboard performs, I manually searched for "Smith" and copied the results table. The table pastes nicely into Excel, borders and shading included, but embedded links fail to copy since the table doesn't use traditional HTML tags (it uses JavaScript instead).
