Dear all I'm using UltraDev which build a form containing a menu, there a two items inside this menu for user to choose. This form is using Post Action to $php_self which means it will pass back the variable to itself. Then here is the question: what should i do if i want to call a page prompt from a blank window when the item A is selected? and another page when Item B is selected! thx a lot jack jack@nedcor.com

I'm not sure what you mean by "call a page prompt from a blank window when item A is selected". Do you mean at the exact moment that item A is selected, or do you mean after the user has submitted the form? If you mean you want to pop a new window as soon as the user selects one of the pulldown options, then you use JavaScript for that. Something like this: <script language="JavaScript"><!--//

    function loadpage(thepage) {
      if (thepage) {
        self.location = thepage;
      }
    }

//--></script> <form action="./" method="post" name="theform">

    <select name="pages" onChange="loadpage(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);">
      <option value="0">--- Please select one: ---</option>
      <option value="page1.php">Page 1</option>
      <option value="page2.php">Page 2</option>
      <option value="page3.php">Page 3</option>
    </select>

</form> If you mean you'd like it to redirect them after they submit the form, you could do it with the PHP.. [before any other HTML code] <?php if ($submitted && $pages) {

     // .. do stuff..
     header("Location: $pages\r\n\n");
     exit();

} ?> [...html code...] <form action="./" method="post" name="theform">

    <select name="pages">
      <option value="0">--- Please select one: ---</option>
      <option value="page1.php">Page 1</option>
      <option value="page2.php">Page 2</option>
      <option value="page3.php">Page 3</option>
    </select><br>
    <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="1">
    <input type="submit" value="Go to page">

</form> ... Hope that helps. -Mike
