Now this isn't foolproof, but it's a lot better than using javascript (which isn't always available remember) solution. interestingly, this server-side solution also gets around the problem where information is sent via get. some browsers send it twice in attempt to download and display the page more quickly (as get behaves very differently from post data) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
