Glen,

I get it. It is a semantics thing.

I was using the word "description" to refer to the text under the heading "Description" which appears about half way down the page.

At this stage in my program's execution, the program already has the information that appears in the "title" -- it got it from the page that lists mulitple items for sale. My program first reads the pages that lists mulitple items for sale. Based on the titles, my program chooses which items on which to get more information. If I am on an item page, it is because the information in the title has tickled my program's interest.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Rick
