Title Body

I am attempting to scrape the below website: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2011&month=0&season1=2011&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&players=0 If you click the small button at the top-right of the table titled "export data", a javascript script runs and my browser downloads the file in .csv form. I'd like to be able to write a PhantomJS script that can do this automatically. Any ideas? The above button is coded into HTML as such: <a id="LB_cmdCSV" href="javascript:__doPostBack('LB$cmdCSV','')">Export Data</a></div> I also found this function in the HTML source code: <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var theForm = document.forms['form1']; if (!theForm) { theForm = document.form1; } function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) { theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theForm.submit(); } } //]]> </script> I'm very new to PhantomJS/Javascript and could use some pointers here. I think I've found all the info I need to do this automatically (correct me if I'm wrong), but just not sure where to start on coding it. Thanks for any help. EDIT - This is what my script looks like right now: var page = new WebPage(); url = 'http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2011&month=0&season1=2011&ind=0&team=0&rost=0& players=0'; page.open(encodeURI(url), function (status){ if (status !== "success") { con
