Obviously this wouldn't really help, as you can't predict what a website actually wants which events, in possibly which order. Especially if the site does not _want_ to be scrapable- think of a simple "click on the images in the order of the numbers shown on them" captcha. Most time it's easier to sniff the http stream & grab the data directly. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
