I googled before posting, and I'm sure I used pretty much the same

like a good start).
I hadn't found that one. It looks very useful. Thanks.
Thanks for your help - I think I can see a light at the end of this
particular tunnel!
Let's hope it isn't an oncoming train ;-)
BTW, if you ever need to do really fancy graphics, I think you can do
similar tricks with ActionScript in Flash. Surveys suggest that
something of the order of 98% of all browsers have a Flash plugin
installed and the plugin *is* available on Linux.
I've started dabbling with Flash, using some open source development
tools which are available on Linux. I'm exploring it for a possible
elearning project. I've not done anythng serious with Flash yet, but it
appears from the documentation that you can load data from a URL into
your flash application. ActionScript is essentially JavaScript with
some extensions, so that parsers that work in JavaScript should work in
ActionScript.
I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the JavaScript approach on
your project. Good luck.
