Re: SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The element type "a" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</a>".

Thanks Francois,

Yes, you are right. I think I had jumped the gun a bit: I was assuming it 
had bombed out, but in actual fact it took 195 seconds to complete (for 
http://www.chaletdulys.it/)... Is 195 seconds normal?!

I've found it very hard to come across any current code snippets - could you 
share any with me or point me in the right direction. I'm just looking to 
perform a mobileOK test on a url, and extract data from the results to 
display onscreen.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
James
