the document.forms[0].submit() won't populate any hidden fields which is what he wanted to do. Now WHY he wanted to do that I don't know. You are correct that you could could just capture the value of the select field in the action page and not have a hidden field. The other thing to make my code much simpler is to use selectedIndex instead of looping but old habits die hard.
