Script to scrape page for and save data
Hi All
I would like to get cars DB from this web site link removed , and I am trying to right script to go and parse the web page and save the data for each cars into a file, type of cars, mark, model, but when I look to the source page I found out that the first car type is preselected and the car marks also, if I want the models of cars I have the change the selected mark on the dropdown and then the models is populated, I think this function is done by Javascript but I can't find it in the source code. it will be good if you help me out to right script that change car mark, save the information cars type, marks, models into a file.
Doing this manually will be a lot of work.

Thanks.
