Re: Re[2]: [PHP] inputbox?

OK Tom - that script worked beautiful. there are a few different applications that I need this for, and I'm wondering if you can either help me with the coding, or refer me to a webpage that can get me started in the right direction. I need to collect a value that will be used in a query. (assuming this is pretty easy - just use the value listed in post for this form) I also need an OK / Cancel option that I can use a die with if the cancel, or proceed if they select OK. when I use this java script does this reload the page, and go back to the top, or does it simply set the $_POST value?
