Re: i know i caused u a headache:)

Hello!! Where does your IF Statement get its condition??? After looking at the Function validate(), you don't have a category until later in the code. You use validate() to check the values after the click the submit button(Add Item). Right??? One thing you could do is...Since it looks like only $category=Printer...opens a new window...have a variable all ready equal to Printer...in store1.php Or does $category= a bucnh of things...and you just put in Printer.... Or I'm I missing something... Dan On Wednesday, September 26, 2001, at 08:36 AM, its me wrote:
