      @Egnos its doable,

      iframe auto scrolling

      but requires some code… even on the CSS approach cause you would want to wait some time,
      then change the css style

      I am not aware of a module that does this… ( or how it would decide it NEEDS to on a page by page basis)

        @sdetweil said in Extract parts of web pages:

        ( or how it would decide it NEEDS to on a page by page basis)

        Scrolling a page would be enough (the web page you set in configuration …), when it arrives at the end it comes back up.
        I speak as a non-developer, I don’t know how difficult it is …

          @Egnos ok, so you assume that the page always needs to be scrolled

            @sdetweil Yes, in any case in order to read a web page it must be scrolled. Monitors usually can’t fit the full page …

              Would it be possible to view the contents of a text file on MM view a file (such as a .js or .json)?
              Let me explain: since I don’t have the skills to automatically extract information from a website. I was thinking, for now, of manually updating a file every month.
              I would need a form that would print this information contained in a file in local on the MM… (in the future I could automate the writing of this file …)

              Do you think it would be possible?
              If so, do you know of a module that could do this?

              Thanks guys!
