Well, now that we know I can't change the fact that the website programmer used a multiple id (website is not maintained by me), how can I manage to grab the content of "my" <td>-fields? Example: ... <tr id = 'tr01'> <td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr id = 'tr02'> <td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr id = 'tr01'> <td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td> </tr> <tr id = 'tr02'> <td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>4</td> </tr> ... Using DOM functions for sure :-) http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php Thank you for any help! LS -- NEU: GMX DSL Sofort-Start-Set – blitzschnell ins Internet!
