First off, it SOUNDS like you want to post the same news item to more than one site, sometimes. So why not have six CHECKBOXes, so that you can submit the form ONCE and be done with it? Secondly, we really can't guess why your drop-down combo box that did whatever it did disabled your submit button... Though odds are really really really good that your mistake is in JAVASCRIPT, not PHP, since by the time you choose something from a drop-down in a web-page, PHP is *long* gone from the picture. Unless you actually ARE using that XmlHttpRequest stuff... Personally, I would AVOID using JavaScript for anything that was crucial to site operation. It's just STILL too flaky on too many browsers. God forbid the browser makers should fix their daft designs/bugs rather than roll out new features nobody can rely on release after release. :-v -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
