I'm new to selenium, so apologies if the question isn't well formed. I'm looking at automating some data gathering. There is an ASP.NET site, where you can request data about a specific topic. When the data query completes the web page is updated with the results. When I use selenium to get the page_source, I don't see the data. I believe it's encoded in the __VIEWSTATE. Using IE DOM Explorer, the data is there in plain text.
Is there a way to pull the data from the DOM Explorer? Basically, I'd be happy to get a dump and parse it myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
