I tried that site, but all of the arabic text seemed to be images. only the latin text was actually text. for example: <IMG SRC=f03c110.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=7 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c129.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=8 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle> <IMG SRC=f03c66.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=3 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c110.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=7 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c192.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c76.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle> <IMG SRC=f03c189.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c150.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=8 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c192.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c129.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=8 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle> <IMG SRC=f03c110.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=7 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c188.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=7 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c81.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c89.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=8 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle><IMG SRC=f03c177.gif BORDER=0 WIDTH=6 HEIGHT=20 ALIGN=middle> and so forth. This is not xml either, as the attributes are unquoted so its not well formed. Also, it didn't seem to be using unicode, but iso latin-1: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Am I missing something here? -- Chris
