Kevin, I'd check out the program called 'muffin'. It is designed to be a local web browser filter. You can remove applets, block addressed, remove javascript, etc. It's open source, and I think it's written in Perl. I'd bet you'd find some good filtering code in there. -- Chad "^chewie" Walstrom <chewie@wookimus.net> http://wookimus.net/chewie
