Thanks for the info, Zeljko. That's going to take some studying to understand. one more question and might be a simple answer but after spending a few hours looking for code example I found nothing. How do I simiply examine the value of a certain element? For example, on the quibid home page, how do I get the value, programatically, of the "Live Actions" text at the top left of the screen? Or of a link? I did this some years ago and thought it had something to do with a question mark (?) ? thanks.
