You could simply have it look for previous killed mob- It may not be the correct mob, but it will, at least, point you in the right direction, no? Using a warning that the mob may be incorrect, of course. <div></div>

<div></div><div></div>Grats on 1000how about an item database with stats... oh wait ... =(/me opens up notepad and starts to code again.Oh and the problem with parsing the eq2players site is that you have to login to view the pages.  You could have people copy and paste the source into an upload page, but then the items would still have to be validated before calling them finished.  Doing that wouldnt be too hard if you had a good php programer like myself... oh wait you do ^_^<div></div><p>oh and btw DOMXML > Faabio+Pudaan, IMO<span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by Findarato on <span class=date_text>09-29-2006</span> <span class=time_text>07:22 AM</span>
