*solved* hi william,
tx alot for your help. The usage with jquery itself for forms is easy, i know, but the form plugin again brings a lot of simplification. i took a step backward, put the code for the forms in my main file, but still: nothing happened. *sad* but then i saw the issue: i didnt have an 'id' tag, but only a 'name' tag for the forms. thats why i never saw the forms.......... i got the code from someone else (project work) and converted it to use ajax, thats why i didnt see it. After changing this, everything was fine... :)))) and that took me 2 days to see. omg ;) bye and tank you all Adrian
