Re: Can PHP do what this javascript does...

Javascript can be embedded in PHP files anyway. I do a lot of database management interfaces in PHP and one thing I want to do is protect items from being accidentally deleted. I use Javascript to verify that they intended to click on the link to delete the information. Remember, PHP files are enhanced HTML files, which means the browser will parse them exactly the same as a standard HTML file. Mike Frazer "Richard S.

Unfortunately, since PHP lives on the server and JavaScript lives on the browser, there really is no way to get PHP to do what you want. Stick with JavaScript. There's really no reason not to when you're doing client-side programming.
