Thanks for the info! I think I may look into the DOM approach. ^_^ Does(do?) libxml or libxml2 have a DOM interface? I know that libxml2 is already on the system (part of the base install), so it may be a good place to look. :) Does anyone know of a good tutorial site with a .org or .edu web address? The firewall I am stuck behind at the moment has some funky restrictions. :P ^_^ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
