Hi Adam, I would try to figure out how the data gets extracted when it gets displayed. Something like _getCurrentValue.
Or better, have a look at hurry.file. It uses a session variable or hidden input to solve your problem. And well, thinking further, hurry.file might be _the_ solution for you. cheers, Thursday, December 14, 2006, 4:47:51 PM, you wrote: AS> AS> Hi Tom & Widget Afficionados.
