I'm still trying to stumble my way through a custom script to fetch the news from the sun website, I've sorted it so it changes the web page into the print page and leaves out the slideshows but it fetches all sorts of rubbish after the story including all the 'connect to us' stuff
How would I just get the headline and the main body of the article?
Here's the source code from a basic printpage from the sun.co.uk
Code:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

var hbx=_hbEvent("pv");hbx.vpc="HBX0100u";hbx.gn="ngd.thesun.co.uk";
// set vars to be used below
var urlReturnCid = "";
var urlReturnAttr = "";
// First, we load the URL into a variable
var url = window.location.href;
// Next, split the url by the #
var qparts = url.split("#");
// Check that there is a querystring
if (qparts.length == 2) {
// Set the second half of string to var
var query = qparts[1];
// Next, split that string by the &
var varQ = query.split("&");
if (varQ.length == 2) {
// Lastly split by = and assign to vars
var retQ1 = varQ[0].split("=");
var retQ2 = varQ[1].split("=");
urlReturnCid = retQ1[1];
urlReturnAttr = retQ2[1];
}
}

It captured tragic David Askew crying in anguish as yobs tormented him.
</p><p class="article"></p><p class="article">
Their victim, who had learning difficulties, collapsed and died outside his
home this week when his gate was smashed after 20 years' intimidation by the
Mad Dogs Gang - some aged just six.
</p><p class="article"></p><p class="article">
He was pelted with bricks and hounded for cash and cigs by the thugs on his
estate in Hattersley, Greater Manchester.
</p><p class="article">
Neighbour Lynne Barker, 47, who filmed his ordeal seven years ago, said:
"David suffered hell because of these kids.
</p><p class="article"></p><p class="article">
"They threw stones, abused him and threatened him as he had a mental age of
eight and was an easy target."
</p><p class="article">
Her film also shows David, 64, who had CCTV installed, biting his hand in
frustration then trying to escape the gang.

One hoodie said yesterday: "We all did it. But I know now he must have been
scared."
