Well your form is sending its data to frame.php -- but you are looking for it in browse.php if you change name="category" to name="category[]" then you'll get your results in an array with $category[0] holding the value of the selected index. -- Burhan Khalid phplist[at]meidomus[dot]com http://www.meidomus.com
