Thank you for your reply. yes, that is what i am thinking about doing then, grab the whole page with 'content' and then pattern match it, the URLs are dynamically assigned to a variable but the URL always looks exactly the same, the only thing that varies is the last 4 digits which can also be grabbed without a problem whichever combination they come up with character class . I am 'farming' that website, but the issue will be common for many. even though the links are dynamically assigned, in the end they look like hardcoded, that is, you dont need to click on a JS link to make them show up. i ll work on that then, thanks regards
