translator for a site that has no HTML on load

wengang1

Hi all.
I'm still new to Zotero translators and making only slow progress to understanding the ones I inherited.
I have a standalone app on a network that is not connected to the internet, so all of the translators are custom built and not found in the repository.
One site I have not had any success with so far doesn't have any HTML inside the body when the page loads.
It has only a single empty

and a tag and then it calls a series of script src.......js files.
I assume what is happening is the JS is putting the HTML body together and then inserting into the . But I can't see the html in the page source, and if I save the html page and look at the html source of my local copy, it's gibberish.
I can see the page rendered in my browser, so I know the HTML for that rendering is present.
My question is, can I still write a translator that will capture information on a page when the HTML isn't present when the page loads.

I have a larger question, but I don't want to piggyback it here, so suffice it to say I can't currently work in Scaffold and I am largely working blind in terms of getting feedback as I modify the translators. I'll post a second discussion for this, but it is relevant here too.

Thanks for any information/advice.

Sorry, the tags were stripped from the post. There is only a single empty div tag and an empty tri-root tag in the body, followed by the js files also inside the body.
