Dear responders, I was not sure which post was the best to respond to all of you so I chose the original. I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to try and help answer my question. I truly appreciate it. For the record, I have a PHP book and I understand (I think) all the variables, functions, conditionals, loops, constants, etc. of PHP. My problem, with no computer programming to speak of, was putting those variables, functions, conditionals, loops, constants, etc. together to make it do things I was hoping to accomplish. I am hoping that with reading more tutorials, looking at other people's php files and lots of practicing I may one day "get it." I am truly grateful for all the time all of you spent in trying to help. -- ""Christopher W"" <cweibel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:F5.56.55096.935EB794@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > At least I hope it is simple... > > I am trying to get an HTML menu link to set a variable's value.
