Hey Colin,
Thanks for replying.
I guess this has sidelined from php a bit now... so have added a OT in the subject line.
Anyway, this is how I get the values from a select or a text box:
var selectBox = document.forms[0].lang; user_input = selectBox.options[selectBox.selectedIndex].value;
var textBox = document.forms[0].sec_name; user_section = textBox.value;
kindly show me how to get the value from a javascript prompt box,
the force is with me but the JS DOM is from the dark side :D
Cheers!

You don't need any Ajax here.
All you need is to take the value entered into the js box and use normal
javascript commands to store this value in a cookie. This cookie will be
sent automatically to your PHP script the next time a user requests a
page from your server.
If you want to provide immediate visual feedback, you can use standard
DOM methods to insert the users name into the page where you want.
No need for any fancy Web 2.0 nonsense here..... move along, nothing to
see... ;)
