Can not get html content with javascript is disable with message "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content."

Question

I'm using node to get content of html page from url. Here is my code:

request({
url     : url,
gzip    : true,
timeout : 2000
}, function(error, response, html){
   console.log(html); 
});

But some of url when I run it appear message "Please enable JavaScript to view the page content.". I'm try google a lot of thing but still not yet work. How can I fix it?

ex url: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/this-weeks-biggest-books/

try visiting that page with javascript disabled in your browser - that's how node will get the page — Jaromanda X, Jul 30 '15 at 04:10

Node.js scraping currently does not process Javascript and so you can only retrieve javascript-less data, such as JSON objects from APIs and such. Hope that clears things up!
