Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't know about JavaJunkies. I will say I was very impressed by the discussion of PHP vs PERL here, and I have decided to stay with PERL CGI vs PHP, thanks to the excellent arguments. This is my first web app. I've been doing Clipper Programming in DOS for 20 years, and there's a big paradyme shift. Actually, I think the way I will solve this will be with PERL CGI. I'll simply send the entire web page, with all frames and forms already filled in from the PERL Script. That way, no Javascript name space problems. Thanks, Irv
