I'm thinking that it would require creation of a function that uses getElementByID to document.write a hidden input. Does anyone have a function that works this way that I could reference to write my own function correctly? Couldn't I use PHP to echo the ID using the getElementById() function to a hidden input? If so, any recommendations on how to do it? Thanks, Boudga [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/17]Boudga[/url] on 05-12-2007 15:07)[/small] Loading...
