March 19[edit]

Direct URL adresse not found[edit]

Hi, in this website https://www.ifosta.de/Sport/Rudern/11-InternationaleTiteltraeger/Europameister-Rudern.html I want to find the URL for these two links (they are at the bottom of the page):

100. Wettkämpfe – Rudern
101. Wettkämpfe – Leichtgewicht

to be able to use it as a link. However, when I click on these two links, the information I need opens, but the URL doesn't change. What trick can be used to find the direct URL of these two links? Thank you very much. 46.114.181.185 (talk) 19:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a typo in your ifosta.de URL. It gives a 404 error. CodeTalker (talk) 22:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There may not be a direct link. The content display may be controlled by Javascript or other tricks. RudolfRed (talk) 00:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The URLs appear to be:
However, these will not show their own content when opened in a separate window but replace it by the content of ../Europameister-Rudern.html.  --Lambiam 00:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @RudolfRed:, ok, but can you tell me what are those tricks that can be used to display directly the content? 46.114.181.185 (talk) 00:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the content is generated by Javascript, via an Ajax query or something like that, then there may be no way to directly display it. CodeTalker (talk) 00:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
However in this case that turns out to not be the case. I was able to examine the HTML, and the links you want are
https://www.ifosta.de/Sport/Rudern/11-InternationaleTiteltraeger/Europameister-Rudern-Dateien/sheet100.html
and
https://www.ifosta.de/Sport/Rudern/11-InternationaleTiteltraeger/Europameister-Rudern-Dateien/sheet100.html
EDIT: Unfortunately as Lambian noted above, it doesn't appear that the web server lets you access those URLs directly. CodeTalker (talk) 00:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
