after mulling over your responce for a while a trying several versions. I finally have a working script that I understand so thank you very much. now I have to figure out the forms section and passwording. The only question I have is security wit respect to passwords. The options I have is encypting the password after verification then passing it as a cookie thus allowing persistence. or I can use it as a hidden varieble.which is better ?
