Even if I can't set it up now, It'd be nice to save for a future project. I'm not sure what I'd prefer to do, but it seems a bookmark to a javascript tool might be a cool way to do that. From a page you want to bookmark, just select the bookmark to the javascript, and it can grab the page you're on and dump it into the script. The javascript must just feed the last visited url to the cgi script, which can then fetch the title. From there, perl can dump it into an xml or html page pretty easily, just leave a commented tag where the next one has to be inserted, or even sort it, categorize it, whatever. The whole thing could actually live on the server. I'm gettin pretty interested in these ideas :) Cheers Lou -- Louis LeBlanc leblanc@acadia.ne.mediaone.net Fully Funded Hobbyist, KeySlapper Extrordinaire :) http://acadia.ne.mediaone.net ԿԬ In order to dial out, it is necessary to broaden one's dimension.
