I would rather eat my own excrement. If you have a "search engine" I am sure you can afford to have a Windows server in there somewhere with, say, VB.NET <http://VB.NET> and an IE control. It's about twenty lines of VB to get a URL from a queue, send it to the IE control, wait for it to complete the loading, grab the control's image and JPEG it. I'm sure it would be far too slow to do it in real time. Not quite so sure how you would then identify where the words are on the page though. 2008/8/20 Gavin Pearce < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Internet Explorer ActiveX - nice! Going to scrap Ruby and PHP straight away and use this and ASP on my next site! Please show me the ways Brian so I can become a master!

I wonder who they are using to get the screen shots I thought the way to do this is to use the Internet Explorer ActiveX control to render the page, and then save the bitmap content? -- Brian Butterworth http://www.ukfree.tv <http://www.ukfree.tv> - independent digital television and switchover advice, since 2002 This message has been scanned for viruses by <http://viatel.mailcontrol.com/> Viatel MailControl, a service from <http://www.viatel.com/> Viatel.
