Do this all the time in my web apps. It works relatively well with a few little draw backs.. You have to worry about carriage returns and single quotes in the data that is being returned in the javascript as this will cause parsing errors in JS.. It's rather quick though and if you write good JS then it should work on all modern browsers. You could always use a two/more step method (back to the web server) but I particularly don't like these :) Adam. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
