Re: [PLUG] Save a Dilbert?


it is a gif, whose filename is located (for the time being) in a tag
on line 127 of the HTML source

Like so:

<div id="FeaturedStrip" class="FeaturedStrip"><table border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="300" width="660"><tr><td
align="center"><img
src="/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/000000/10000/1000/100/10798/10798.strip.print.gif"
/></td></tr></table></div>

IOW... this is the comic for 06/07/08:

http://dilbert.com/dyn/str_strip/000000000/00000000/0000000/000000/10000/1000/100/10798/10798.strip.print.gif
