We've done similar things by using a Form field with the HIDDEN attribute. Then we have a second form field which is a button with the action for mouse_down to be show/hide field show the first field. You can experiment with the show/hide fields as we've also done rollovers that bring up text boxes and then close them when you mouse_out of the field. _____ John Clifford GTS Companies A TechBooks Company Technical Support 5650 Jillson St., Los Angeles, CA 90040 (323) 888-8889 * FAX (323) 888-1849 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ The GTS Companies: GTS Publishing Services, GTS Graphics, GTS Innova: Your Single-Source Solution!
