Yeah, I tried that.  The problem is that it encodes stuff like this:

slides = new Array();
    slides[0] = new Slide('http://homepage.mac.com/....jpg', 600, 800, 'IMG_0125.JPG');
    slides[1] = new Slide('http://homepage.mac.com/....jpg', 600, 800, 'IMG_0127.JPG');
    ...

so wget doesn't see it.

Of course, I can download the file, run a perl script (that I haven't
written yet, but that wouldn't be too hard) to pull out the images
URL's from the slide URL's, and then view them individually.

I'm tempted to write a little app that listens for connections from
localhost on some port and acts as a proxy to do that transformation
on the fly.  Then I could wget, view online, whatever.

Probably I'll just think about it and not get to it. ;-)
