Athens 2004 Olympics Results

[Montalvo]

Hi! I created an **experimental** channel to get the results of each event. It extracts info from the NBC Olympics page. For example, this URL is for the results of today (Aug 11,2004):
http://www.nbcolympics.com/print/1549036/detail.html

You can grab this, and the results on the following link:
http://tupalmx.com/pruebasphp/grab_olym.php

This script automatically gets the results for the day. Maybe I should include a link to get the results from *yesterday*. Let me know...

Remember to use a LinkDeepth of 1 and to FollowOffSiteLinks.

Some feedback will be greatly apreciated!

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
You can pass a day parameter to get the results for a specific date:
For example:
Use "../grab_olym.php?day=11"
to get results for August 11, 2004

This is a second option for RESULTS:

http://tupalmx.com/pruebasphp/grab_olym_2.php

This has a cleaner aspect, and it's generates a smaller final doc.

Sorry if some words appears in SPANISH, but this channel was made for my fellows here in Mexico. It's is not so much deal, I guess... :-)

I'm looking at these through a web browser right now and will hopefully pull them up on my phone.

The above page pops up a java dialog asking you if you want to print. I'm 99% sure it will produce an error on my phone.

The table on this page is very wide. I suspect it won't scale well. Is there any way to reduce it?

Again, I'm testing this on my computer, not on a portable device. Anyone else?


Btw, mil gracias Senor Montalvo!

If you set in your tables (iSilo) a "IgnorePixelWidthSpec", it should look as good in your palm, as it looks in mine.
