Hi, I'm not sure if you're really looking for a diff tool, so I'll just shout an answer to a question that I think you might be asking. I use a variation of the script posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1494488/watch-a-web-page-for-changes for watching a web page for changes. I mostly only ever use this for watching for new artifacts to appear in Maven Central (because refreshing a web page is pretty dull "work"). Hope this helps. -- HARDY POTTINGER <[log in to unmask]> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ "Do you love it? Do you hate it?
