Thanks, this worked. My purposes are lacking only in a few scruples - I'm making a GM script to automate clicks on a site that tries to avoid automating clicks by making links call randomly-generated onclick functions first. This way, I can simply grab the function name, eval() it, and then document.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
