Re: remote scripting objects

Sure. You can have JavaScript load a PHP URL in your onChange. I forget how JavaScript does it, exactly, but if you have sample JavaScript/ASP code, just alter the part that says "...asp" to "...php" and it'll work just fine. Note that some browsers have no JavaScript or users turn it off, so you shouldn't have any critical functionality in this. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
