Importing Data
Extract HTML Table to JMP File Opens the web page in a data table. This option should be used
only if an HTML table is located at the web address you enter. To create a meaningful data table, the
HTML table information must consist of cells of data only. HTML tables that are created for page
formatting or that include headings do not result in meaningful JMP tables.
Run JSL File Opens a JSL (JMP Scripting Language) file and runs the script.
4 Click OK. On Windows, the URL from which the table came is included in the data table as a note
property if the table did not already contain a note.
If your URL is to an FTP server, the window in Figure 2.16 appears.

For an anonymous account, click OK. For a typical login, enter your user ID and password.
2 Creating and Opening Files
Note: Some anonymous FTP servers require a user ID. If the data table does not open, try typing
either ftp or anonymous in the User ID text box. Leave the Password text box empty and click OK.
Opening a File from a Server or Another Computer (Windows Only)
To import data from a file that is on a server or on another computer:
1 Select File > Internet Open.
