And after all was said and done... I chickened out and did the following: 1) created a PHP page that would accept the site addresses and put them in a "click here" link and an auto-refresh javascript... 2) add the areas to the array like so: ,'outsite.php?site=http://www.lickingcountysheriff.com' => 'County Sheriff' ,'outsite.php?site=http://www.msmisp.com/lpd/' => 'Park District' ,'outsite.php?site=http://www.state.oh.us/odhs/county/licking/' => 'CSEA' ,'outsite.php?site=http://www.lcats.org/' => 'LCATS' ); which, in turn, fixed my 'overwriting the key' problem 3) Left everything else alone... See it in action at www.lcounty.com Thanks everyone... I had to alert viewers that they were being transfered out of the domain due our/my accessability standards... --------------------- John Asendorf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Applications Developer http://www.lcounty.com - NEW FEATURES ADDED DAILY!
