#2 Checking partial web pages

[Anonymous]

Currently, for each web page on the list, WebWatcher
checks the entire web page. Many web pages contain
content that keeps changing but is irrelevant for the
user (e.g. the number of page visitors, the current
date, and so on). It would be very useful if I (as a
user of WebWatcher) could mark one or more parts of the
web page that I want WebWatcher to check.

Letting the user mark the interesting part/s of the
page can be done in various ways. There is a similar
application for Windows, named "WebMon", that provides
this capability by simply presenting the web page
source and letting the user select text strings from
the page source that denote the beginning and the end
of the interesting part. Of course, this can be broken
if the web page changes in a way that the denoted
strings no longer exist, in which case the tool marks
the page with a special mark (could be another color in
WebWatcher).
