Need Help with Recipe

[UtahJames]

Hello. I'm trying to get a recipe created for KSL. I need a bit of help and it looks like this is the spot that's giving me the trouble:

The CSS loads the page and each of the news items is under a div labled:
<div class="headlineQueueItem">. Well the problem is each of the links to the actual newstory use the tiniest bit of Javascript via an anchor tag <a ....?>. Please see below

<a onclick="s_objectID='Latest Local News 1 title'" href="?nid=148&amp;sid=15103589">Alta High assistant principal takes different job</a>

All this really does is makes it so the part after the question mark in
href"?' is pasted after the text: 'http://www.ksl.com/index.php?' as shown below
http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=15103589

Is there any way to make python turn the href="?nid=148&amp;sid=15103589"="? into href="http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&amp;sid=15103589" so I don't get deadlinks when the recipe is downloaded?

Thanks in advance.

James

P.S. - Here's my recipe in case this is helpful:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1300058293(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'KSL'
    oldest_article = 1
    max_articles_per_feed = 20

    remove_tags_after  = dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'bodyCol1'}),

    keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'bodyBlock'})]
    remove_tags    = [
        dict(name='table',attrs={'class':'siteIndex'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'class':'roundColWide'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'bodyCol2'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'bodyCol3'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'class':'addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style'}),
        dict(name='embed',attrs={'id':'p1'}),
        dict(name=['script', 'noscript', 'style']),
        ]

    feeds          = [
        (u'Local News and Features', u'http://www.ksl.com/xml/148.rss'),
        (u'Consumer News', u'http://www.ksl.com/xml/172.rss'),
        ]

I'd use preprocess_regexps to change the <a> tag.

Edit: Actually, if that didn't work, I'd switch to preprocess_html and run a regex on the <a> tag. I can't recall if preprocess_regexps runs early enough in the process.

And I'm not totally sure where your problem is - if it's in the RSS feed, then you'll need to work even earlier in the process. I'd do that by grabbing the feed page with parse_index and regex fixing the <a> links.
