Sorry, end of discussion for my part. I think there is a difference in definition going on here. An object in the local filesystem (though not the original copy of it, but a facsimile rendered through Javascript) can be accessed from PHP, though not in its original form, but wrapped in an AJAX request--or hidden INPUT tag, etc. (in the form of encoded text)--and then manipulated. That's what I *MEANT* to say. :P Todd Boyd Web Programmer
