You're welcome. : However its giving me one parse error with the line with a single : double quote as showen below. Is it possible to combine the 2 lines : below or escape the double quote? : : --- Code --- : : extrafield += ' value="<?php echo $listcreate->' + padded_counter; : extrafield += '->EditValue ?>"></td></tr>'; I only added the extra "+=" statements to avoid line wrapping in the email. You could expand it all back out to how you had it or like this. extrafield += ' value="<?php echo $listcreate->' + padded_counter + '->EditValue ?>"></td></tr>'; But I don't know why there is a parse error on the double quotes. You might have picked up a stray character in the copy and paste from the email. Run your code through a lint program. I use this one for javascript: http://www.javascriptlint.com/ : I'm not familiar with escaping in javascript like in php, thanks. The escape character for javascript is the backslash (\). I looked it up a few days ago as I am spoiled by Perl and it's boatload of quoting operators. Javascript quoting is lie going back to Commodore BASIC. :( extrafield += ' value=\"<?php echo $listcreate->' + padded_counter; extrafield += '->EditValue ?>\"></td></tr>'; HTH, Charles K.
