Yeh, that would be a bad idea! My thought was that the script would run at the time the message was created, and then the proper data would become part of the message (like how the quote tag works). Having the target page open in a new window while the script is running (then close the window) is not ideal?it was just how I could get it to work with my limited skill.

but it seems like there is a function that will create a new document from a url, but it's only in newer browsers. But without using that, I think you could parse it as XML or even just as a string, instead of loading it into a DOM object.

hmm..have to do more research.

I notice that there are parsers for php, so you might be able to figure out a server-side solution.

I was trying to avoid php?mostly because I am even less familiar with that than javascript.

Thaks for your help.
