I am working on a patch which involves max retrieving live statistics from a website, specifically the total number of births in Germany per day. The issue I am experiencing is that although I can recieve the javascript code of the web page into max, the website itself does some sort of instant refresh meaning that the stats say (for example) 40 for half a second and then quickly switch to the correct number (for example 435).

I am new to javascript so I'm not sure if there is a line in the javascript code somewhere which will give me the 'updated' number rather than the immediate one which gets auto-changed on the site (this is currently how I have it set up).

So far I have been basing my patch on one that user Metamax made in this thread to retrieve live weather data (thank you Metamax!)
