Imagine you are on your "found set" page and click "add-to-cart". This "refreshes" *just* the <div> with the cart items and leaves you right where you are. If you can get the JavaScript that works well x-browser with "XMLHttpRequest" and "innerHTML", you have it! The "request" is much like you have now, only Javascript passes the url and does some magic replacing the current contents of <div id="cart"> with all the items, by changing the "innerHTML" of the div. You can pass off the query to Witango, instead of it being "processed" by Javascript alone. -- Beverly Voth Tier3 Data & Web Services Group, LLC 606-864-0041 http://www.tier3web.com/xml.htm Web Design & Hosting * Apple Consultants Network Certified FileMaker 7 Developer * FileMaker Business Alliance Coldfusion, Witango, PHP, MS SQL, MySQL, FMP, XML/XSLT, CSS Over 12 years experience integrating databases and the internet!
