IMHO that's not that what a user expects because it takes more time to send and reload than to calculate the new price yourself ;-) (as long as you have a poor connection) Two possible solutions: -I think the javascript solution ist the best. I don't see any reason why it doesn't run in Netscape (I didn't look at the code but I know that there is a way to get it work) -Second: Not realtime - total appears after sending it. You can combine this solution with the first to avoid problems with browsers that have JavaScript disabled (I'd recomend that anyway) Regards Stefan Rusterholz, s.rusterholz@interaktion.ch ---------------------------------- interaktion gmbh Stefan Rusterholz Zürichbergstrasse 17 8032 Zürich ---------------------------------- T. +41 1 253 19 55 F. +41 1 253 19 56 W3 www.interaktion.ch ----------------------------------
