Hm, clairvoyance? 8-)
Yes, get it!

Yes, I am already using your tricks, thanks again, but speed is
important for my project, since I will need to load up to 20-30 
(maybe more later) pages and extract hte data in a specific TABLE 
from the sourcecode.

That requires access to the html-file, right? 
Or can I "inject" something like that on-the-fly?
If yes, how should it look like?

Sorry, still a complete newbie in JavaScript...
