I think that this sort of think would be possible using AJAX. But AJAX requires that Javascript be enabled in the user's browser. And many don't like that due to the possibility of decreased security. I know that I use the Firefox extention to stop Javascript on most sites. I don't think that MS's Internet Explorer has anything like that. I don't know about other browsers such as Safari or Opera. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: An EIN stein.
