Xajax contains Javascript, which is how it manages this feat. For Pete's sake people, this is a *new* PHP user who wanted a *simple* solution to a relatively simple webpage problem. He's not looking for a Javascript solution, or a framework solution, or an OOP solution. He's not necessarily looking for a bulletproof, high security solution. He's a *new* PHP user. He just wants to figure out how to do this simple thing. Give him a *simple* answer. If you have to give him provisos about security, OOP, or Javascript afterward, fine. Paul -- Paul M. Foster
