but i dont understand what Builder functions you are refering to on his site... please note that I am
fairly new to JS and definatly new to this ajax stuff. do you or would you happen to have a working example..
I can edit the template file.. but its the CGI file that I can not edit.
The CGI points to the template file internally.. (cant mod the CGI because its complied c++)
and the template is a htm file with only css info in it (the head tags) I think thats why JS will work... in doing what im trying to do..
i hope.. does this make a little more sence ?
Tanks much ,
Terry

Erm.. i am not sure if i really understood what you are trying to do. It sounds that you can't edit the template you are refer to so.. you should have a look on the script.aculo.us Builder functions. With them you can create your dropdown with _javascript_ and "attach" it anywhere in the DOM of your result or searchpage. No need to edit HTML then.
var myFormID = 'search';
var myDropDown = Builder.node('select', {name:'searchtype'}, [
Builder.node('option', {value:'1'}, ['fruits']);
Builder.node('option', {value:'2'}, ['music']);
Builder.node('option', {value:'3'}, ['cars']);
]);
$(myFormID).appendChild( myDropDown );I hope this helps you.

I have a html page that i have to use as a template page for an exucuting CGI file. (search engine). that source can not be modified on that CGI.
The CGI file pulls in the template file and provides a way to format the resulting CGI output. (the htm template have has CSS in it to formate the CGI resulting page)
of cource with html being stateless .. i have no way to put a feed drop down on that htm template that is populated from the Db. Least by conventional methods...
Is it possible to feed a drop down onto an HTML page that populated from a DB using and then post the result to the page (once form is submitted)? IE.. a list of authors or something?
This does not sound like an easy thing to do..
Thanks for any help in this matter...
