HTML Tidy or TagSoup would probably have served you better, rather than groveling over the code bit by bit. (HTML Tidy can do more cleaning, but it sometimes loops or delivers garbage if the HTML is sufficiently broken. TagSoup never gives up and never loops, but doesn't know as much about HTML.) -- Said Agatha Christie / To E. Philips Oppenheim John Cowan "Who is this Hemingway? / Who is this Proust?
