Without being able to see what happens on the server side,
one would certainly want to keep that in mind.
JavaScript is quite opaque.
okay. i wonder, though, if the source couldn't be processed into something more accessible than the source itself. and, if i understand you correctly, you are suggesting the bar is rather low. but yes, i understand that the source available to the client frequently does not tell the whole story.
re images: on firefox's Preferences > Content menu, for example, there is a 'load images automatically' checkbox. although one might expect the other side of that coin to be 'load images selectively (at my per-image discretion)', it is not. instead, afaict, firefox only toggles from 'load all images' to 'kill them with fire'. i find no option to include on the rendered page links to images. i find its absence in firefox conspicuous (and particularly so, given its presence in what are called text-only browsers).There are add-ons for that, such as: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/imglikeopera/
that looks promising. thank you for the pointer. i will look into it. take care, wes -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
