AFAICT, you're not missing anything. Mechanize sets up a browser session inside your recipe. I have no idea what the Mechanize browser is capable of beyond basic html - forms, etc. All that I've needed it to do, it has done. (some quick research says that Mechanize couldn't do javascript in 2008. Perhaps you can set up a POST to the server to do what is needed.)

The Winter Olympics 2010 is builtin (or was last I looked.) If it's not, let me know and I'll hunt it up tonight. The other was just generic discussion of using Mechanize to do things with its browser. You should focus on the site and your page source. If there's more data to be obtained, the page has to give a link to that data somehow, or the data has to be on the page. Maybe there's a link in the page source. Maybe it's in a referenced file. Sometimes you can figure it out by watching the process with a sniffer. Sometimes you can calculate it from the page you're on.
