Ahhhh..... 'twould be nice if 'twere that easy. ;-) However, Most web pages use a combination of both "static" and "dynamic" addresses for images. (and for links to other pages) (static) <img src="http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/images/cacheidx.gif";> (dynamic) <img src="images/cacheidx.gif"> When the dynamic address is contained within a page located at http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ Then the 'completed address' becomes the same as if we had used the static address. The reason for doing this is for 'portability'. The exact same page can be placed at many different sites without editing to change a link to a (now local) file. So..... Doing a 'search and replace' of "http://.."; will not 'cut the mustard'. -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
