GPT3-prompt to use jquery to extract html data
/*
jQuery to select all the values of the last column of 17 rows of an html table, where there are 8 columns. The values are actually anchor tags, which contain img tags. Extract the src attribute from those tags.
In the resulting JavaScript, also import jQuery via dynamically adding it to the page within the javascript, not via a script tag
*/
// Dynamically add jQuery to the page
let script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js';
document.head.appendChild(script);
// Wait for jQuery to load
script.onload = function() {
// Select the last column of the table
let tdList = $('table tr td:last-child');
// Extract the src attribute from the img tags within the anchor tags
let srcList = tdList.find('a img').map(function() {
return $(this).attr('src');
}).get();
// Log the results
console.log(srcList);
};
