I don't have the solution you're asking for, but one way to get at the text of the link is to "Save Page As" and go into the HTML file with a text editor. It's using a pile driver when a tack hammer should suffice, but it should get you what you want. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
