   Had both turned on, I am using javascript. Not that I really like it, I do not,
but I have used it more and at this point prpabily faster to complete task at
this point. Acutally not very crazy about any scripting language except may
python.

  My problem is that the user has to make a selection from a drop down list, after
the selection is made, I need to display a short description about the selection,
Javascript allows me to do this, but netscape 4.79 does not display my data. Just
down loaded 6.22 and installing now. Will try it and see if that helps. I can send
the html screen, if someone wants to w it & see if I have made a mistake. Kongy &
oper work fine.

cheers   of course Thanks David & Lee
