The cancel button fires off a second script, the purpose of which is to kill the first one. Of course, there are a few considerations. Normally a button action forces the browser to load the response page. There are several ways around this, such as using frames, javascript, or the HTTP 'No content' response. Also if there is likely to be multiple instances of the application running, you'll have to uniquely identify each instance. All of this, while not simple, is definitely doable. -- Mark Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sr. Internet Architect User Technology Associates, Inc. $_=q;KvtuyboopuifeyQQfeemyibdlfee;; y.e.s. ;y+B-x+A-w+s; ;y;y; ;;print;; _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list.
