If you're opening the file via http, then the server should send you everything a browser would see. But, do note, that web page is wacked out. I just took a look at it in Mozilla and while the HTML downloaded, it wouldn't render. So, they seem to not quite know what they're doing. Then, going up to http://alert.dot.pima.gov/ produced a JavaScript redirect, so they REALLY don't know what they're doing. --Dan -- FREE scripts that make web and database programming easier http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/software/ T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7th Ave #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
