need more detail.

- can you give the url to the table?
  or
  if you can't give the url explain generally give a=20
    sample of one or two table elements.

- are you interested in a one time parse=20
  or=20
  will you be re-running this on the changing contents of the page every da=
y?

from a table, then a m/()()()/ style thing to convert the elements into
useful data structure...
