LJ webcam - techno question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

maybe this helps:

the webcam page source includes a file called lajollawebcam.js

http://www.bigwatersedge.com/webcam/lajollawebcam.js
the javascript auto creates the IMG tag and cycles a new image.

the IMG tag code is in there. the only hangup might be the
"theDate.getTime().toString() which will be part of the document.write code.

however, I'd guess ?? that if you worked up the code from that (see code)

baseURL+=File+= etc. you'd be able to grab the image in a browser with javascript. now, can you use it in another application? well, once you can grab them from the internet, pretty much it's a scripting issue.

in fact, any app that can grab internet images could, the only hiccup will be the getTime() issue and filenames.

hope that helps.
