I contacted the web master for these sites and have found out that the data i'm
looking for is available in a text format that i can download (ex:
http://www.*-*-*.com/ ).  Is it
possible to have a web page that would dynamically collect this information and
display it on the page?  If so, what is the best way to make this happen?

I would appreciate any help you can give me.  

Regards,

Chuck Pryor

I know this is possible, but I don't know how. One of my friends was the
webmaster for a local paper and he got the info from another web page and
through Cold Fusion he was able to put their data on the newspaper site, and
whenever they updated, his did so automatically.

first you can find a solution in html with a frameset: set the target of the frame
for data to your source-url.

the other way is to use the winet.dll with it's http functions (described in
several technical articles on the msdn) which is not quite difficult if you know
what a dll is (or you ever made a declare statement) and download the textdata,
parse in your module and integrate it into your dhtml (html) page.

that's it.

the next days, my winet-application is ready an perhaps i'll offer some source in
this newsgroup, because there some questions about these functions.

good luck to you and your friend!
