Actually, i think i figured out what was messing it up (just so you don't feel stumped as to why you're code wasn't working :Þ), my lists of the "missing" section were actually links to internal anchors in the html file.

so long as i'm already typing, i also wanted to ask not how to put all the LI tags into an array, but to be able to do the nested lists in seperate arrays in order to sort them independently of the other LI in an UL above or below it (i've been able to capture all the LI in one array by pattern matching earlier).

Thanks, shahbazq
