bookmarkable url

Hi

When you click on this url, it goes to the page where I can see the annual balance sheet of the company.

http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Financials?s=C6U:SES&subview=BalanceSheet

When you click on "interim data" it brings you to another page where you can see the quarterly balance sheet. Is there anyway to bookmark the url for "interim data" so that when I click on the bookmark it goes straight to interim data?

thanks

Doesn't look like it.

Sure is:
http://markets.ft.com/research/Markets/Tearsheets/Financials?s=C6U:SES&subview=BalanceSheet&period=q

To be honest, to figure this out I sort of guessed. I tried to do it the smart way by checking out their javascript but it was hideous. I wish I could explain it to you in a way that you could apply to anything else there. My process was as follows:

I looked at the link in question, it looked like this: <a class="selected wsodBulletText" data-wsod-issue="253320" data-time-period="q">
The annual one looked like this: <a class="wsodBulletText" data-wsod-issue="253320" data-time-period="a">
Then I looked at the piece that was different between the 2: data-time-period="a" or ="q". Since data-time-period doesn't print nicely into a url, I guessed that they might use period to set it, hence adding &period=q to it.

Sure, someone with your background would come along and figure it out. lol

Sorry buddy.

I was actually ready to post nope when I thought, ah what the heck, lets try this.
