RE: [PHP-WIN] Question on javascript

You could make some sort of two click application, where the first click sets a variable and the second click activates the information. I don't know much about javascript, but I was poking around in the code at this page: http://151.197.85.31/isa/careerdirections/default3.htm and it sure seems that they are using some javascript to pass variable back to the server and update the map... maybe you can reverse-engineer it for us? --------------------- John Asendorf - jasendorf@lcounty.com Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
