If you try and mirror that, due to the ungodly MESS of
javascript inside of it, the images aren't captured.  Any
way to break through it?

Also, a few sites (which I lost the URLs of due to a hdd
crash last week) fail to mirror because the site only has
one URL -- the index, which is a php file, uses form post to
figure out what page you want to go to and displays it that way.

So if you click on "Profile", it's a form post to the php
script with a variable set to "profile".  It then pukes out
the right webpage.

It's a neat trick.  Is there any way to get httrack to
follow forms like that?  I don't think it would be a good
default option (as it could very well break things like
guest-books and forums on pages you are trying to mirror)
but on the occasional site...

Also, is there a way to get httrack to "peep" at image maps? I've seen a few
sites that have a picture, with the caption
(in Japanese)  "Click on that which makes sound" or
something like that, any wrong clicking sends you to
yahoo.com, but clicking on the right button sends you to the
real page...  I can figure out most of these type of sites,
but a few...
