Please excuse my ignorance. I realize now that my original question was off subject for this forum, however I appreciate the help and re-direction from all who replied. From further search, the XMLHttpRequest object is supported by Netscape/Mozilla, as well as IE with ActiveX, and is the basis of AJAX (Async JS with Xml), which seems to have been developed to meet just my type of requirment. I Still have to research the JS world to see if my original approach will work, but the AJAX may be a sounder way. If they don't pan out, the Perl CGI should do the trick. Thanks, Irv
