Glenn,

Are you sure this will work? (I am new to this area.)

The code at the top of one page starts out like this:

< HTML>< HEAD>< meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Tue, 24 Apr 2001, 14:00:49 GMT">< TITLE>eBay item 1228604104 (Ends Apr-15-01 07:21:09 PDT) - Marantz MA-500 THX amps (5) in orig boxes
< /TITLE>

I put spaces in after all the "<" characters -- otherwise, I fear the text would go into the reply as invisible HTML code.

So I think the Title tag would only get the title, not the description (which is located far below in the page of code, and often going in as plain text without any tags, anchors or whatever.)

One of the other replies suggested a solution that works for me.

Thanks,

Rick
