in reply to Online Comics

Ignoring the ethics of downloading the images from comics that rely on advertising to stay in business (wouldn't it be better to mirror the whole page?), here are a few pointers on your code. Hope this helps..

    When you initially posted this (I know it was a long time ago), I had felt a twinge of guilt, because the ethical issue had occured to me earlier. However, at the time, I wanted a fast way to check all of the comics I read without typing each URL or going to each bookmark one at a time.

    A little while later I discovered, Mozilla and tabbed browsing. Since you can bookmark mutliple tabs into a single spot, I now use that instead of the script.

    It was not the advertisements I wanted to avoid but the hassle of going through so many clicks to read all of the comics. Now I can have both, and I feel much better about it.

    Thanks for both your comments about the code and otherwise,
    Boots
