Hello!

Let me just to start with saying that I'm really new to coding (started yesterday at the university).

Me and some family and friends have started an investment portfolio in which we have some stock, some silver and some gold. I want to create a website that displays the value of the portfolio. So what I'm trying to do is gather info from another site.

I want to gather the info at the "yellow line", right to "Köp" and "Sälj" (blue and red bottons).

How is this done? I've been googling for quite a while, but can't find anything that makes sense to me.

Thanks in advance!

If you want styles on your button controls then apply CSS styles over there, you need to prepare those by applying styles as you want.

You shouldn't take data from other people's sites. Not only is it unethical, but if they change the mark-up of their site your code will likely break. Instead you should use a stock api from a service provider that implements such a thing. If you google you'll find a few that are free to use
