So I've been working on a way to scrape the data from a page and display it (in roughly the same format as the source). I found YQL and I am finding it brilliant, except I can't figure out how to just display the whole output with nothing special (except the basic formatting)The YQL input code is: \[code\]select * from html where url="http://directory.vancouver.wsu.edu/anthropology" and xpath="//div[@id='facdir']"\[/code\]using that it returns the JSON: \[code\]http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20html%20where%20url%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fdirectory.vancouver.wsu.edu%2Fanthropology%22%20and%20xpath%3D%22%2F%2Fdiv%5B%40id%3D'facdir'%5D%22&format=json&callback=anthropology\[/code\]I've followed the yahoo tutorials, and created the news widget among other things, but not one tutorial covered the basic view (don't need the links either, just the paragraph setup).
