    Hello All

    Iam on a hosted ecommerce solution. They do not provide me the variables use in show product price and such. Each of the products are displayed on the page inside of <div> tags and each has an id=

    Could I use a javascript to pull these values based on the id of the div box?

    Thanks for the help!:)

    Sure, simple example on how 
    <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getContentFromDiv(divID) {
    var divContent = document.getElementById(divID).innerHTML;
    alert(divContent);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="i_am_a_div">Product: Nokia Bazooka XL-3264785.<br /> Price $0.002 ..  etc... </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
getContentFromDiv('i_am_a_div');
</script>
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
