update : rewrote reply more clearly. Dear monk, why don't you use Javascript? This seems to be more suited for these kinds of tasks than a full-fledged CGI script. For Javascript help, look at the tutorials on w3schools.com. You could use a CGI script, but I advise against it. You would in that case probably use an array to hold the options and use CGI.pm to draw the page with listboxes. A button would then post a flag to the script, regenerating the page and showing the options in the other listbox. But again, Javascript would be easier for this. If you need any help, let me know. In the future though, you might want to give some more details about it, as to what you are trying to accomplish. Good luck, -- Detonite Thank($parent($_)) if(posts($parent($_)->Useful)	[reply]

Detonite is right that you probably are looking for javascript, not perl. There's a javascript example of this at http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/selectbox/ .	[reply]

When you 'submit' the listbox item, with help of CGI.pm, you can generate the new listbox with selected listbox items.	[reply]
