That probably would work.

My boss said what he used to do was to just do a bit by bit compare.

However, I am going to piggyback on to the evolutionary trend evinced by the commercial software test packages and try to do an XORish transform between the current page and an older version of it.

Also, I read somewhere recently that Flash is an open format. Since the element I am looking for is in Flash, I am going to see I can (find what I need in Perl to) read the text from Flash.

Thanks for your suggestion
