What you want to do is create an event handler for the change event on the list. This will fire whenever someone clicks an item in the list. In the event handler you want to look at the selected* properties (selectedItem, selectedItems, selectedIndex, selectedIndices). These will tell you what the user has selected in the list. At that point you can send them immediately to your PHP script or set a local variable with their value until someone hits a "submit" type button, or whatever happens before you send the values. -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The universe tends toward maximum irony.
