JQuery is a LOT of code to include if you're just going to do an AJAX call or two. There are examples of doing straight AJAX with Javascript on the 'Net. Once you work through them, you find that there's a "static" part that you can include in all the files you want to make AJAX calls. And then there's the part that deals directly with the data you get back from whatever PHP or other script is feeding you data from outside the website. That's the part that needs custom work. I *hate* Javascript, but I managed to figure it out. Another point: I'm not sure if it's the same for other people. I'm on a crappy little computer running Linux. I've got a little CPU meter in my taskbar. And nothing jacks that meter up like Javascript. I don't know why, but Javascript just devours CPU on my computer. The more javascript, the worse. And like I said, JQuery is a LOT of code. This is one of the reasons I tend to code things in PHP instead of Javascript. Paul -- Paul M.
