I did something similar that when a user selects a record from the drop down box it fills in the data on the page, I did it via an onChange even on the list box that submitted the form to that page, then PHP took over and read the variables passed by the form and filled in the page. PHP can't do it by itself because it has no knowledge of what the browser is doing, its all Server Side :) -- James Atkinson ----------------------------------------------------------------- James Atkinson 100world Technical Developer 512-1529 West 6th Avenue phone: +1-604-637-8122 Vancouver, BC, V6J 1R1 fax: +1-604-742-1770 Canada email: james.atkinson@100world.com http://www.100world.com +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | This message may contain confidential and/or privileged | | information.
