Hi Ron, It looks like the data you want is generated by javascript; if so Rcurl will not be able to retrieve it for you. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14491598/how-do-i-download-the-source-code-for-a-webpage and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9778076/how-to-view-webpage-source-code-using-r?rq=1 for some ideas to get you started.
