By default, if you want the same document to be used to parse the result, IE (and I assume NS, though you know what they say about assuming) passes the arguments back to the same document all by itself. Like so ... /* myform.php */ <FORM METHOD="POST"> ... </FORM> When a user clicks on the submit button, the browser sends the form data to myform.php, then fetches a new copy of myform.php. I'm going to have to find out if that's intended behavior. -- O.
