Hi gang: While we're discussing what's legal in css, here's a couple of things I've found about sessions. I found that starting a session with a number doesn't work. $myvar = $_SESSION['1myvar']; I also found that dumping a session to a variable with the same name may cause problems, such as: $myvar = $_SESSION['myvar']; Regardless of what anyone may say to the contrary, it doesn't work everywhere. I found that out the hard way. The fix is simply to use a different name for the variable, such as: $my_var = $_SESSION['myvar']; Hopes this help someone. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
