Re: Porting data to a web page

To be a bit more specific, what we want to do is display an html page with 
update information, IE: load information on a state by state basis; IE: how 
many loads are available in that state.

If it was just static itself and never changed, I could just create it using 
notepad, but since it has to include some information from a LF that won't 
work.

If you think the example you have will do that I would love to see it....at 
least that will get me started in the right direction......
