Thanks for the suggestion. Any idea how to accomplish this task without using JS?

I'm surprised chromium, konqueror and firefox don't offer this functionality for offline browsing.

Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org/) might work but it's not a simple command line script.

Selenium will do this, although it's not pretty. I spent about 4 months on a contract doing exactly that, and it sucked.
