Re: javascript and submitting forms

Thanks again for the advice. This approach wont work in this case because I'm launching the window from an app, then I need to close to return to the app. If I submit back to my app, it brings a new app into the addl window. And no, you're definetly not stupid ! Thanks for the help. Mignon On Mon, 2003-01-13 at 15:51, Micah Stevens wrote: > > Wait, I'm stupid.
