hi David and folks, >My suggestion is this: have a special attribute for every input command called >"updatetimes" that takes a date specification just like GetUpdateTimes: > ><input name=yahooquotes stocks=lnux,msft updatetimes="8"> ><input name=calvin updatetimes="8am Sun"> > >Any thoughts? How important would this feature be? I have a different view on how NewsClipper should work. (Note that most people probably won't agree with me :) I think that NewsClipper should be dividided into 2 process: One should take care of getting the info from the web and (if necessary), updating handlers, bugfix and so one. It would be called from cron/at as NC is right now. The updated data would go straight to the cache. The other process would take care of parsing the page and updating the contents with the data in the cache. The NC works today, this approach would be just more work to archieve the same result. But this would let NC be used with Server Side Includes (SSI), mod_perl, and to write the parser in other languages (e.g. PHP3/4). The parser would be really lighter (and faster) using this. (I told you that most people might not agree with me :) BTW, I will be creating a MySQL support for NC as soon as I got more free time :) Best Regards, Raul Dias - If you would like to unsubscribe from this mailing list send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe newsclipperdevlist YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" (without the quotes) or use the form provided at http://www.NewsClipper.com/TechSup.htm#MailingList.
