Just a comment: I was recently told by an expert in this field that documents build on the fly are usually not indexed by WWW search engines and one had to have a stable document in place as well to be seen out there. Cornelia
That is correct. Generic web spiders would not know what parameters to send to a site to generate pages. Custom spiders do not have this problem. The other solution is to have the site refresh its html files whenever a change is made to the underlying data or every night if it needs it or not. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- P.
