Don,
Thanks for the info.
I'm a bit confused,
When I call the function, what is the syntax as it applies to my form?
ie:
openpost ("dps2.usairways.com, /cgi-bin/fi, FltNum=2972 page=fi");
I know this doesn't work, but do you see what I mean?
Forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning :-)
Also, how do I set more than one NAME= VALUE= pair?
As a reference, here's the form I am getting the info from:
-------------------------------------------------
<form name="flightStatusForm" method="post"
action="http://dps2.usairways.com/cgi-bin/fi";>
<input type="text" name="FltNum" size="6" maxlength="4"></td>
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="fi">
<select class="bodytext" name="selectDay" size="1">
<script>
todayMonth = monthNames[today.getMonth() + 1];
document.write( '<option value=\"' + todayMonth + '
' + today.getDate() + '\">today</option>');
tomorrowMonth = monthNames[tomorrow.getMonth() + 1];
document.write( '<option value=\"' + tomorrowMonth +
' ' + tomorrow.getDate() + '\">tomorrow</option>');
yesterdayMonth = monthNames[yesterday.getMonth() +
1];
document.write( '<option value=\"' + yesterdayMonth
+ ' ' + yesterday.getDate() + '\">yesterday</option>');
</script>
</select>
</form>
-------------------------------------------------
TIA!
