So the OP is using the form's action to reload the page, and seemingly making an ajax call under some circumstance that will also retrieve the whole contents of the same page - and do what with it? Anyway if you just want to get the coords of a square into a form by clicking, I'd have thought just use JavaScript. No need for ajax for that bit, IMO. Use the ajax stuff to send the move off to the chess program script, and use its reply to update the board showing the new position. -- Cheers -- Tim
