Hi everybody,

is there a way to grab the website and execute the javascripts? Some Websites inject Content via Javascript and Ajax and it would be great to get these.

I am porgramming in Ruby. Maybe there is a way to do this with NodeJS?

Thank you for your help

Selenium is capable of doing this and has a Ruby driver (library from which it can be controller).

You can do this with Node+jsdom or PhantomJS.

Thank you. PhantomJS looks great.
