What's up with the West-Wind site? It keeps locking up my IE. Can anyone else get to it?

>Jay... i'm doing something like this with a desktop app that polls a website to grab an html file. In the meta tags region of the html doc, i have a "last updated" date. The desktop app parses out the html to determine if a new update is available. I'm using a West-Wind class to do it. You pass it a URL (not sure if it works if you were to pass it a path/filename) and it returns the contents as a string. Definately not an elegent solution, but the site isnt on a webserver that i control, so i cant really hit a URL that launches a data-driven query.

>>If I'm viewing an HTML page, is there a way to convert parts of this content into Excel or a text file? I'm thinking of something like putting an identifier start and end tag in my code, somehow pulling out everything inbetween after it's rendered, then parse it out to a text format. Anyone familiar with something like this?
