Folks,

I'm fighting a hopelessly unwieldy web browser based "ticketing
system" from a sub-simian operated "major 'cloud' provider" who take a
day per ticket entry and we're at 19 ticket entires to try to get some
data out of them...

And I'm finally there except the "....." operators have done a
cut'n'paste into their ticket system that then displays the data in a
javascript web panel. Looks pretty but totally useless for copying or
saving anywhere! (All by fiendishly unhelpful design?... No save or
export buttons...)


So... Any easy options to circumvent that?
(Other than screen dumps and OCR?!)

(And so avoid another 4 days to tease them into doing anything useful!)

And let this be a moral to you to *NEVER* allow all or /any/ of your
data to get sucked into someone else's 'cloud'...


(And no, I'm not that stupid but some other poor naive poor lost souls
have been...)

:-(

Cheers,
Martin
