If you mean getting information into the various fields then you'll need something like this: <input type="text" name="sometext" value="sometexthere" size=30 maxlength=100> The 'value=' bit will insert the information into the form field when it outputs to the browser. There's similar constructs for every form tag available. Find yourself a reasonable form tutorial and it'll no doubt cover this sort of thing. The php to do it is pretty much up to you - in the case of the site above they're going away and reading the web site for you. > Would a javascipt function be any use to me? I guess you could. That's not the way that the web site you refer to is doing it.
