Hi..

I hope this is the right group for this post..

I am looking for a simple way to download a GIF file from a website..

Basically, I just want to download a 24 hour radar loop from the weather.com
website for a project I am working on. I would like to write a small Delphi
app to load the GIF file and save it with a time and date stamp as the
filename (2005-08-30-1600) and have the app do this on  some kind of
interval and then leave the app running on my desktop PC while I am at
work..

I have played around with the browser component, but I can't find a way to
grab the image file from the page..

Any tips would be great..

Thanks,

Rich
