Had trouble figuring out how to save the file.
Saved it as an XML file & stripped off the numbers.
Thanks. It works for me.

So, if EE is so crap why are you using it? Answer a few questions a month and you get no adverts.
Funny how everyone expects help with their problems, but never gives anything in return.

I also don’t know how you google results get “flooded” with EE results. Never happens with me. Do you think it’s possible you’re searching for such lose terms that google thinks EE is perfect for you because you don’t know what you looking for?

When you get the crappy EE question using google, just use the “in cache” link to see what’s there when the google bot did index the page.

As stated before, many Q&A’s are incomplete and “nuggets” hard to find. This is a $$ driven company using cloaking for forcing people to pay for informaton they ca get for free on other sites like http://www.bytes.com and the newsgroups.

Just ignore the Experts Exchange hits from google is probably the best advice. And when annoyed by this put a complaunt at Google, as this showing a different result for the google bot and the user is considered cloaking and not according the Google guidelines.

As said before, just scroll down to the end of the page. The real answers are there. They just put some fake “cloaks” on the top to fake users into thinking the information is all hidden.

I appreciate what Chris is trying to do here, but I eventually decided that instead of the overhead of another FF add-on, I’d just bolster one I had installed already; Greasemonkey. There are a couple Greasemonkey scripts that accomplish the same thing. I found three in about five minutes Googling (after picking through the EE search spam, grin) and I’m going to compare them over the next couple days.

That worked! Now EE might be of some actual use to me. Thanks a lot!
