It's not even possible with a browser and HTTP, whether PHP is in the picture or not... You're describing a desktop application behaviour. Stop doing that; You'll just make yourself and your users miserable. Write a web application. It's different. Don't popup a new window unless you absolutely have to. If I want a new window, I'll use right-click and do it myself. Don't try to "freeze" up the list (you can't anyway) cuz I might want to look at other things in the list to decide how to correctly update the original anyway. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
