Thanks. PHP lives and runs, eats and breathes, lives and dies, ONLY on your web-server. You want something to happen in real-time with the user interaction, almost-for-sure PHP is not going to be involved, at least not for your first attempt at this. You may end up going down the AJAX-y route, and having PHP back in the picture for suggesting the next potential iterm id (whatever that is) but it will just be a tiny little PHP script to pick the next ID, not anything to do with how it's presented to the user or showing/hiding form elements in real-time -- that's all JavaScript. Or Java applet. Or even Flash (blech). -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
