@Alex Papadimoulis said:But option #2, the idea was to use XMLHTTP on the client and parse out the text. I suppose that could also be done on the server as well. Oh! Sorry for misunderstanding. Sure, client side would work. I might still want to do it server-side to take advantage of  more industrial-strength lanquages than JavaScript. damn...now I'm curious...gonna have to give it a try. Thanks for ruining my night's sleep...
