ok, that was probably part of my problem. i also think i was asking the wrong question (as well as blindly replying to ppls posts trying to help them understand what i was doing. :) the one thing i'm still fuzzy with is why would the actionform only populate with one of the three hidden field values? only the one that was being set via the javascript showed up on the next page. did the action servlet drop the page and only take the javascript value that was handed to it? of is there something else happening behind the scenes with action and forward that i just don't see yet? i'm just curious. i'd like to understand better how everything ties together (and works). thanks again. andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
