Thanks for the information. I vaguely remember some DOM structure from some
website development where I used some JavaScript and Perl. None of my
current scripting efforts involve IE. As normal, I have absolutely no
documentation available about the application except the user's Manual. I
will have to get better acquainted with object investigation capabilities of
the Home Row, the BX Toolbox and WinDig. Assuming there is any objects
available.
