What I don't like of the Server-Side solution is that the form WILL BE submitted a second time, and that (I'm not so sure) the first submission will somehow be interrupted by the second one. I'm really new to JavaScript, so my help stops here, but check this address: http://www.pageresource.com/jscript, they have some very good JavaScript tutorials. Saludos, Pablo Vera
