I can't find any information on passing JavaScript variables to PHP on the same page (i.e. not through the POST information of a submitted form). Is this because it's not possible? To take the load off the server, I'm trying to do a bunch of string manipulations and loops in JavaScript and then hand that info off to PHP once it's done.How will you communicate with PHP without submitting an HTTP request of some sort? So, really, you will need to submit -something-, though it could be GET data, POST data, or COOKIE data. You can't have JavaScript talk to PHP "within the same page" since the webserver/PHP "forgets" all information related to that page as soon as it shoots it to the user-agent. I'm assuming you know how to use JavaScript to set a cookie, and/or make a new request with GET or POST data attached. If not, let me know. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
