Is there any programming libraries available that will parse an HTML document, execute JavaScript and then allow me to navigate the DOM? This needs to be performed server side, not client side. Any language will do, but Java, PHP, or Ruby are preferred.

Node. js is a runtime environment to allow JavaScript to not only be run in the browser, but also on the server (or almost any environment, really). That also expanded the types of applications that could be built with the language since it wasn't tied to only the client-side anymore.
JavaScript. JavaScript is a client-side script, meaning the browser processes the code instead of the web server. Client-side scripts are commonly used when we want to validate data before sending it to the web server, adjusting the interface in response to user feedback, and for implementing other advanced features.
Have you tried Bringing the Browser to the Server?

in java: http://lobobrowser.org/cobra/java-html-parser.jsp
this is a a Javascript-aware, CSS-aware HTML parser
the most important feature in relation to your question: It is Javascript-aware. DOM modifications that occur during parsing will be reflected in the resulting DOM.

Java has support for javascript with Rhino, also look at this page for server side javascript solutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_JavaScript
