There's got to be a better way

[Lynch, Jonathan]

I am not sure if someone else has already suggested this - but I just
tried this and it seems to work fine:

On Mouseup
  -- put the desired URL into U
  set the clipboarddata["html"] to URL U
  put the clipboarddata["text"] into A
  -- the plain text version will now be in A
End Mouseup

Sometimes I get weird things happening to my system when I mess around
with the clipboarddata, so if you do it this way, look out for anything
strange happening after the fact, like problems with copying and pasting
or something similar.

I have html text from a web site. (Thanks again to Dave Cragg for his 
nifty handler to extract text from a web site with forms.)

It is awkward to parse in this form. I would like to be able to parse 
the text without the html code.

So this is what I am using:

set the htmltext of field 1 to tHTMLtextFromWebSite
set the text of field 1 to field 1
put field 1 into tTextToParse

It is hard to imagine anything more clumsy. It wastes a lot time 
putting things into and out of fields. There must be a better way of 
stripping out the html code. I understand that one cannot use 
variables for this.

Jim
