Hello All, I have installed the required modules. But what I want is to read the text which is written on the explorer window. I don't want to get the text of the page but the text which one reads on a page. Like what u r reading now is the text and the text obviously should not have the html tags or entities whatever the case may be. I hope that now u have a clear picture of the problem. Thanx	[reply]
