Alan If the database is on the "server", as I'm guessing, you can avoid using a new page to access a CGI by using JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest function built-in to the browser. (This is the core of the so called Ajax).

If you're not familiar with Ajax, there is a tutorial at http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp Regards Peter On Sunday, January 14, 2007, at 03:11 am, Alan wrote: > > I've been using Cheyenne to host a small website from home.
