Sure. I'd use Prototype to do this. If I wanted to submit a form with two fields "foo" and "bar" to two scripts, "one.pl" and "two.pl" I'd do: `var params = { foo: $('foo').value, bar: $('bar').value }; new Ajax.Request("one.pl", { parameters: params, onSuccess: handle_one }); new Ajax.Request("two.pl", { parameters: params, onSuccess: handle_two });` [download] Then I'd write "handle_one()" and "handle_two()" to do something with the return values from the scripts. Also, you'll want onFailure and onException handlers. But that's the basic idea. Reluctant JavascriptMonk, -sam	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks, So it should work with perl/cgi, right? Why do you suggest to use Prototype?	[reply]

Yeah, it'll work with Perl CGI. It doesn't matter what's on the other end of the line - could be COBOL CGI for all the Javascript cares. I suggested Prototype because it's what I use. There are lots of fine alternatives. -sam	[reply]
