hi all,
I did some looking and seemed to have run into a wall,

I was wondering if there is a script for firefox that would let a person say capture an updated image from a website like NOAA or NASA automatically in user set intervals like every half hour then save the image renamed with a date/time prefix to a folder on your local hard drive.


what i am trying to do.

I would like to capture an image like this:
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/eit_171/1024/latest.html

every time it updates, save them to my hard drive with a new name and a date/time prefix, then after a i have a good collection after a few days or so, i would like to render them as a movie in adobe.


thanks
