I expected to get all instances of Johnson or of John but I got only 1 and I saw that there were others, so that didn't seem right. And, if I may point out, the instructions are not available if js is not enabled O:-) so that leaves only intuition to decipher things especially if you only want to do a search. BTW - I seem to have solved the problem of filtering the inputs. Was rather simple: just use one form for each search. And to avoid using @ for the error of $_POST['select'] one just has to declare one just has to declare $_POST['submit'] = ""; at top of script. :-) (I'm learning, I'm learning) - now I have to check it all out. -- unheralded genius: "A clean desk is the sign of a dull mind.
