You mean wher if they choose something from menu 1 ,then menu 2 changes accordingly, right?

Like was mentioned I would use one or the other. Perl saya there is more than one way to do it and PHP people seem to try to make you feel like only it will do certain things. ( I'm not trying to start a flame war I'm just saying that most of the php die hards I talk to seem to think that php is the only language that can do things like work with databases and send email. I've actually had a few who were trying to evengelize me stare in amazment when I showed them a DBI script that managed some mysql tables and sent errors out as emails in just four lines of code. I say use what you like and what does what you need. I happen to like perl because it does what I need And about a zillion other things. And , IMHO, it is way easier to expand via modules. We've had lots of problems with php on our servers when ever we tried to add new features and it just seems bloated and funky like sweaty underpants, again just MHO .) What I'd do is create one perl script to print out your html form, complete with java script and also process your form. Check the CGI module, it will do everythign you need to do. http://search.cpan.org > > Inorvermyhead, > Robbie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
