I really didn't intend to dismiss everything you said Ash. I apologize for that. You were absolutely correct in your statement about not being able to directly assign the value of a javascript variable to a PHP variable. I just felt that your response would leave the reader to believe that that wasn't any way to pass the value at all. In my attempt to throw my two cents in I essentially did the same to your response. I'm afraid I left some thinking I was dismissing your entire statement. Sorry about that.
