Yes, of course, thanks, I remembered that as I woke up this morning. But there's another wrinkle: After the input has been verified and some subsequent processing, the data has to be POSTed to a third-party credit verification site, without user intervention. I'm using <BODY onload=formSubmit()> to call a Javascript function, formSubmit(), to do this. The Javascript function just does a submit_form(). Unless I can, invisible to the user, submit a form using PHP, I'm back to Javascript, and since I'd have to require Javascript be turned on anyway, I might as well use it for input verification (except for issues of security, running on the browser rather than as a server script). Hope I'm not being dense. ************************************************* Ron Newman Troubadour Technology http://www.imt.net/~ronman/ *************************************************
