Two options that come to mind: 1. Have a little link to details.php?product_id=X with target=_blank, then in details.php query for the details using the product_id and display. 2. Same as 1 except use a javascript popup via onclick() so that you can control the look of the window (no toolbars, menu, etc...) -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com
