Thank you Andrew... Now it all makes perfect sense. Good grief! there's so much to learn. It seems that Java was easier. ;)

That's not specific to PHP. It's just how http works, so it's the same for ASP, Perl, I suspect Java and most (if not all) other languages. There might be a language that sets a cookie when you assign a value to a special cookie variable, but I'm not familiar with any. Andrew

Unless I was doing something differently when I originally wrote this in PERL I don't recall having this issue. At that time I would set the cookie and then redirect (load the index with the full menu) if cookie existed. Geez! now my $_SESSION isn't persisting to the next page when the screen refreshes. The only thing preventing me from gouging out my eyes right now is that I know I'll get this stuff. It's just a matter of time... -- Mark ------------------------- the rule of law is good, however the rule of tyrants just plain sucks!
