ok...so ill start reading the qForms api info. and maybe then, and only then will I step down :)
jk, ill check it out...maybe it will suffice... simple js stuff is fine, and easy, its just some of the tough stuff, that has always thrown me for a loop, maybe that's why I don't really use cfscript ;) self to self: get off yer ass tony and learn, you've been doing this too long not to have a serious grasp of js...get of yer ass!!! ...tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer UnCertified Advanced ColdFusion Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

Unless you really understand JavaScript, it's pretty inflexible and doesn't really help you to build interactive pages. That's why I started the qForms API a couple of years ago. I'd recommend looking taking a look at it: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/ If you don't know JS at all, there may be a little bit of a learning curve involved, but the examples should get you started. It really is pretty easy to implement, plus you'll have control over the page. If there isn't a validation routine that you need, you can write one or check to see if a user's already written one. It'll also provide you with an API that will make programming interactive pages *much* easier. Check out the examples for some good samples of the API's power: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/ -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
