Got any more suggestions? | |Thanks for your help, | |Matt When you converted it to PHP did you include the <form> tags? I received a similar error until I added the <form> tags. Other than that, try adding a name value to the form and change 'document.forms[0].action = where;' to 'document.form_name.action = where;' Except for the fact that I don't have this.php, it appeared to work for me after the addition of the form tags as posted.
