You're going to have to use a CGI, PHP script, etc., on the server side to fetch the timeline and hand it to the browser. How you would do that depends on your chosen language, but many people here are using libcurl and PHP, and code for that is widely available. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- FORTUNE: Don't abandon hope: your Tom Mix decoder ring arrives tomorrow. ---
