This is getting to be a common problem. One used to be able to
look at web pages from a program by reading the HTML. Now you need to
load the page into a browser-like environment, run at least the
OnLoad JavaScript, and then start looking at the document object module.
This requires a browser emulator, a browser without a renderer.
Useful for spam filters and such.
It's not clear if the original poster needs that much capability,
though.
