No, it doesn't. The thing to learn first is that PHP is server side and it runs FIRST on the server. The resulting HTML and any Javascript code the PHP might have helped create is then sent to the user's browser. At that point, any Javascript can execute based upon the user's actions. PHP is DONE at that point and there can be no communication back to PHP with Javascript. If you want PHP to do something, you must somehow request a new page and have the server process some PHP. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
