Yah, I know exactly what you mean. So many programmers don't seem to get human interaction. Something similar that annoys me more is: Web sites which force you to enter the credit card number without spaces. *It's a farking computer*! The one thing computers excel at is processing data. Just strip the spaces in your validation routine, and make it easier for us to check our data entry! Grrrr... Tip on the state/country list thing, though: In most browsers, you can jump to the first entry under a given letter by typing the letter. So type [N] to get closer. And in Firefox, you can actually keep typing to quick-find an entry -- so you actually *can* type [N] [C] to select "NC". (MSIE only does the first letter. One of many reasons I like Firefox better.) -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
