<ul> <form action="" method="post"> <li>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/> <div id="start_menu"><form action="test_getrss.php" name="form1" method="post"> <span><input type="radio" value="Apartment" name="start" onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Apartment</span> <span><input type="radio" value="Grocery" name="start" onclick="check(document.form1.start)"/> Grocery </span> </form></div></li> </ul> <form action="process.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="form1" value="<?php echo $start?>"/> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"/> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"/> </form> </body> </html>

    My bad, I cannot imagine I sent that stuff. To answer your question, here it is,

                 <form action="" method="post">
                 <p>Select the type of your starting point of interest:<br/>
                      <input type="text" name="start" size="20" maxlength="50"/>

                    <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"></p>
                </form>

This is what is working now if I do it this way, but again, then I got to make sure everything is "typed up properly" before the form is submitted. Does this answer your questions by any chance? Thanks for your help. Alice

You also state:

I hope this helps in understanding what my problem may be.

It's very apparent that your problem is multifold and to solve it we need to take the "solution" in steps. First, the above HTML code is just plain horrible -- and that's just html part or the problem -- let alone the more complicated php/mysql/javascript coding. If that is the best html code you can write, then I suggest that you go back to learn html before learning anything else. So, your assignment (if you want me to continue to help) is to create a simple form to collect the data you want. Nothing fancy, just a simple form -- can you do that? The assignment is in your court. If you can show you can do that, then we'll proceed to the next step. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com

Alice: First, always make certain your html code is perfect. Use W3C's validator. http://validator.w3.org/ I recommend html 1.1 It's really not much extra effort and helps greatly to insure compatibility with all modern browsers.
