Yeah; that's what I was afraid you meant. Well, darn.

That's what I'd like to figure out. I haven't bothered to analyze the
source of the page, but I get a URL http://blah and go there and get a
link to another page, but that link isn't good for five seconds. It
*has* to be some sort of timestamping embedded within the page I get out
of the initial script link. Heck, I could probably even teach the
parser to find the "Click here" link and then wait five seconds before
following it. It just takes digging in and watching what goes on...
