RE: [PHP-WIN] pass javascript variable to php?

If I'm understanding your situation correctly, there is a way to do this (although, the greatest concern here is that you're going to be creating a situation that the user is not expecting ..and that causes usability challenges). Here's how you'd do it: When the user clicks on the checkbox, a javascript (onFocus()) function GETS a webpage on the server and passes it the checkbox, userid and other relevant information. The server processes it and returns a "302" (you'll have to check this one out because I'm not sure that 302 is right). The 302 tells the browser to NOT load a new page. The net result: data is sent to the server (probably w/o the user knowing it happened) and the page is not refreshed. Just make sure that the Submit button does indeed get the user off the page otherwise they're stuck. TIM -Looking for a helping hand?
