Mechanize - Altering a WWW::Mechanize::Page document

qYuri-us

3/1/2007 2:33:00 AM

Some web pages use Javascript to add a bit of crucial html to the DOM after
the web page has been downloaded. Sometimes it's trivial to make the
modifications to the page as Javascript would have done. Is there a way for
Mechanize to reload or reparse the WWW::Mechanize::Page document with the
user-made changes with the same context as the original page?

Swamp cooler or mister system? I'm guessing swamp cooler, which works great
(translation cheap) in low humidity conditions if you don't mind the inside
of your house feeling wet. Mister systems are more designed for back patios
and such where the direct application of water droplets is better than
nothing at all when trying to fight the heat.

I think the roof dribble had to be unintended output...perhaps from a swamp
cooler and maybe even from the air conditioning side of a 'heat pump'.
Either way, the runoff should have fed into a tube, not simply out onto the
roof.

Dayum. Allow me to offer an apology to the peninsula of Florida for
painting the entire state with a Jacksonville brush.

Natural selection at work?

You've convinced me. The entire state is not like Jacksonville. :)

Agreed. Even in these days of air-conditioning, every house being built
should, at the very least, have its windows laid out in such a way as to
promote cross-breezes that can often reduce or eliminate the need to
fire up the AC unit in the first place. I'll bet that there are all
sorts of old tricks that aren't being used anymore simply because it's
easier to just assume that folks will crank up the AC...

Yeah, the house I lived in for a number of years was good at the cross
breezes so even in summer in south Ga the temps were tolerable with
only a fan to cool off (and none in my room for sleeping at night.) My
current apartment has multiple windows but they are all on one side so
there is no cross breeze unless the wind is blowing at just the right
direction to pull the air out of the room. Therefore you have to turn
on the AC as soon as the temp gets into the 80s (or even the 70s if
you are doing much cooking) unless you want to bake.

I buy a big block of ice from a company in New York, they ship it to me on a
barge and I put it in the basement. It slowly melts over the course of the
summer, but as long as I spend the better part of mid day sitting near it in
the basement, I can stay cool.

....oh wait, that was my last life. ;-)

Well, that's exactly right in Georgia and the rest of the south, and
rather wrong in Florida, where they basically went for airflow rather than
insulation. There was even a phenomenon called "Florida rooms" -- and I'm
not making this up, it was a big selling point in the 50s -- that were
basically big screened porches with a terrazo floor.

My bedroom was continuous windows on three sides.

Yeah, it wouldn't do much in the southeast but I bet it cooled things at
least 10 degrees in El Paso.

Our house in Florida actually had solar hot water, some ancient system
that was just glass boxes on the roof with black rubber hoses running
through it!

I oversimplified a little. It was a real system, though -- water powered
air conditioning or something, a water-evaporation cooling system for the
roof.
