Hey Guys,
I need your help for the following task:
- I have to import data from HTML Table to my Lazarus Tdataset
component, which will later transfer this data to my MySql Database.
So, is there any component or library that I can use to do such thing?

Thanks,
J

I have some class that kan import a HTML table into a self-made class.
It can handle only simple tables: no tables inside tables, no
colspans, no rowspans.
It's just a custom made crude parser.

Using proper parsing (DOM) would be the proper way I guess.

Hey Bart,
Could you send me these files or at least show me the way you did them
so I can implement it in my application?
Thanks

See http://svn.code.sf.net/p/flyingsheep/code/trunk/FarmedTools/.
The file htmlprocs.pp contains the code that parses the table
structure.
See procedure HtmlTableToTableEmulator to see how I did it.

The actual project there is of no use to anybody (except to me and my
co-workers) ...
