It depends on how you want to define the user experience. Assuming the user has to first select a table, there has to be some subsequent step on the server to determine the defaults for the selected table -- that can be done via Ajax or simply a new page load, but will require an additional request either way. I suppose another alternative is to send the defaults for all possible tables with the original page, but hidden, and then use Javascript to populate the defaults for the selected table. Anthony
