Hey Tim, Thanks for that. I tried id then realised that it wouldn't work because I needed to have the id name out of the database i.e. ProcessorID. Then it worked. Thanks again!

What I'm trying to do is just get the ID out of the combobox and alert it. ONCE i get that far I would like to call another function (yet to be created) which will do a remote call and bring in values to bind to a text box based on what was selected from the combo box (can this even be done?). Does that make sense? I would've had this done in about 10 mins in CF and HTML....god do I miss it. > > My Example code is below.
