Hi Shawn,
Thanks a lot for the pointers. Interesting stuff that I am trying to
pull down from over my head. When you say to save as a html fine do you
mean to do this like as in the comx.xml search?
Cheers, Tom.

Hi Tom,
I am working on a search for the daily static...I am
trying to figure out the pattern they use to come up
with the name so I can compose it given the date.
I would just use an XmlHttp hit the first time, pattern match "uf*.gif",
and then a second request for the image. This is some code I've migrated
from one of my homebrew samples. Save it as a new htm file:
'// ========================================================
<html>
<head>
<title> Test </title>
<script language="javascript">
var ksRoot = "http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/";;
function showImage( sImage ){
var s = '';
try{
//attempt to obtain the content
var sUrl = "http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id="; +
sImage;
var xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp");
xmlHttp.open("GET", sUrl, false);
xmlHttp.send();
//get the response content from the remote site
var sBody = xmlHttp.responseText;
var rx = /(\/archives\/[0-9a-zA-Z]+\/uf[\d]+\.gif)/g;
//3456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`
var r; var i = 0;
if ((r = rx.exec(sBody)) != null){
sParsed = r[1];
}
sParsed = sParsed.substr(1);
}catch(e){
alert( "It didn't work!" + "\n" + e.number + "::" +
e.description);
}
var o = document.getElementById('testimg');
o.src = ksRoot + sParsed;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="http://12pointdesign.com/stock/images/ra-button.gif";
id="testimg" /> <br />
<a onclick="javascript:showImage('20060120');"> 20060120 </a> <br />
<a onclick="javascript:showImage('20060121');"> 20060121 </a> <br />
<a onclick="javascript:showImage('20060122');"> 20060122 </a> <br />
<a onclick="javascript:showImage('20060123');"> 20060123 </a> <br />
