[wp-hackers] is there a plug in that does browser's text view

[Josh Keen]

I left it in by accident. I was playing with a couple different examples
and I forgot to delete the unused code. The function get_file_html
apparently returns  an object that has the find method. I guess you don't
need to instantiate simple_html_dom directly, *or at least not in this in
this simple example.* I just tested it again---it works.

Hope this helps!
