A couple of things: 1) Change the "method=get" to "method=post" then it won't show up on the URL. 2) You can't do encryption client side, excpet for via javascript http://my.netian.com/~dubs37/eng_cyber_rsa.htm That's a link about doing RSA encryption/decryption in javascript 3) It's probably a lot easier to simply use an existing encryption method, unless you're an encryption expert. /~~ |~~\ |\ /| cmoyer@chekinc.com |hristopher | | | \/oyer PHP / Front-End Developer \__ o |__/ o | | Chek.com, The Email Company
