Manuel is available to help answer questions via his Froms Class Yahoo Group. you do all the coding by "hand", but i'm not sure there is a simpler way to do it *and* still maintain the fine grained control. you can find his class at phpclasses.org - it is free, but you do have to sign up with a valid email address and you will get site updates. i'm sure that if you unregister, though, the site updates will stop. best of luck. __________________________________ Yahoo!
