Here's how I'd do it. # PAGE 1 * Users enters the desired options # SERVER-SIDE * Values are calculated and fed into a template # PAGE 2 * Calculated values are shown, and a form with hidden fields and a submit button labeled 'Confirm' is shown # SERVER-SIDE * The submitted values are entered in a database and fed into the thank-you page template # PAGE 3 * Thank you message with calculated data again and optional "Nah, I was jist kiddin'" button. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
