Saving the form would be useless because how would you ever know if they really submitted it or not? It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to show them a "confirmation" page that says "your claim has been accepted" and here is the data you submitted. "Save or print this page for your records" like you see on many other systems. Would that work? I guess it wouldn't do anything for option C above, but that option is always present unless you're using some kind of timeout feature? ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
