RE: [PHP] Is this possible? PHP + Javascript

in the onCLick event of the checkbox call a javascript function. In that function use a window.open() method to open aother browser window, using the open() methods various properties to control how that browser window looks and feels. For the URL for that browser window, make it a PHP script passing an ID. That script would run against the server and database, returning the results in whatever HTML format you include in that browser window. Works similiar to a popup but allows you to run a dynamic script instead of loading up on javascript arrays or variables when the page loads. Joseph E. Sheble a.k.a.
