Hi Bas and thanks for your input! I guess this would also be my preferred way to deal with that task. But this also means that all "client" applications would have to be adapted and at least change their HTML markup which I'd like to avoid. I'm currently looking for a solution that avoids code changes as far as possible in existing client applications (and we have _several_ of those) ...
Any chance you could share some parts of your custom code? Tom > Gesendet: Dienstag, 03.
