I have another challenge I am trying to over come. Frames. I have my screen set up in 3 frames. 2 for user input and the third is for data --- letting the user know what has just happened. IE "RECORD UPDATED" is what I want to be displayed there. The catch is this --- how do I display text in the data frame. Any idea? I know the <a href="next_screen.html" TARGET="data">SUBMIT</a> command ... But I am wanting to write to the database with a form and then have the same form come up again to be filled out again and the data window let the user know a message such as "RECORD RECEIVED". Can a PHP script do this? Ron -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
