Obfuscation Lab / Experiment 08
Asynchronous DOM mutations
The price appears after a delay and is rebuilt character by character every few seconds. Reading the DOM at the wrong moment can return an empty or incomplete value.

What this experiment demonstrates
The price starts as a placeholder. JavaScript later builds it
one character at a time and periodically replaces the wrappers.
The browser's load event doesn't mean the price
is ready, and the DOM can temporarily contain incomplete data.
This demo exposes data-phase and
data-generation for testing. Real websites may
not provide such signals, so a scraper might need to monitor
the target element for stability.
