[R] interrogating webdatapage

[Jeff Newmiller]

There are a variety of options, but they do generally require that you understand how that particular web form interacts with your browser because there are multiple ways to design them. Firefox has some powerful plugins such as FireBug for studying how web pages work that can inform how you set up your scrape. Google for "web scraping R" to get started, and look at the Web Technologies task view at CRAN.
