## 🎯 Original Requirements vs. Delivered Features

### ✅ **ORIGINAL QUESTION: "does this project provide a means to execute javascript on the page?"**

**ANSWER: YES! Comprehensively delivered:**

**Before Enhancement:**
```python
# Limited to static HTML content
content = await web.get("https://shop.com/product")
# Would miss dynamic prices, JavaScript-rendered content
```

**After Enhancement:**
```python
# Full JavaScript execution capabilities
content = await web.get(
    "https://shop.com/product",
    script="document.querySelector('.dynamic-price').innerText",
    wait_for=".price-loaded"
)
print(f"Dynamic price: {content.script_result}")  # "$79.99"
```

### ✅ **ENHANCEMENT REQUEST: "get, get_many and discover should support executing javascript on the dom"**

**FULLY IMPLEMENTED:**

**Enhanced `get()` Function:**
```python
content = await web.get(
    url,
    script="JavaScript code here",           # Alias for script_before
    script_before="Execute before extraction",
    script_after="Execute after extraction",
    wait_for=".dynamic-content"
)
```

**Enhanced `get_many()` Function:**
```python
# Same script for all URLs
results = await web.get_many(urls, script="document.title")

# Different scripts per URL
results = await web.get_many(urls, script=["script1", "script2", "script3"])

# Mixed scenarios with fallbacks
results = await web.get_many(urls, script=["script1", None, "script3"])
```

**Enhanced `discover()` Function:**
```python
results = await web.discover(
    "research papers",
    script="document.querySelector('.load-more').click()",      # Search page
    content_script="document.querySelector('.abstract').click()" # Content pages
)
```
