Hey I've been doing a lot of searching on the internet trying to find out how to make java programs that log into webpages for you, for instance you have your computer set up a connection with hotmail.com and then you give it the required information and it logs in for you so a little write up about that would be super interesting or if someone could email me links or anything else that would be helpful! Thanks!

Another thing is to create an application to find out how many particular documents (e.g. .pdf, .doc, etc) are there on a web site. The code will recursively scan each paths and find out the number of particular documents and sum it up to an integer counter.

@Yaniv - HtmlParser's way of working with the DOM is through the NodeList. There may not be any effective way of getting the full HTML from the Parser. The Parser documentation states The Parser provides access to the contents of the page, via a NodeIterator, a NodeList or a NodeVisitor. Typical usage of the parser is:

Parser parser = new Parser ("http://whatever");
 NodeList list = parser.parse (null);
 // do something with your list of nodes.

So I don't think there is any public method to access the HTML. You might have to write something yourself to access the Parser's underlying model. Good luck.
