point taken, i was just illustrating *a* way to go... wrote an idea down in
about a minute.
note the 'try something like' rather then 'here is the only way to do this'
and yes, it matches 'foosrc'.. there other attributes on can put in an img
tag
but rather then get in a completely pointless flamewar about 'The Right
Thing", let's just advice Sparkle to use a module that's already written
rather then reinvent the wheel.
of course you'll agree that even the module will be using regular
expressions to parse the html.
thanks for pointing out the existance of said module tho
regards,
Jos Boumans
