Hi Ted,

Thank you very much for the info.  I will definately look into AJAX 
and Dojo.  I am new to the world of web pages and CGI scripts, and 
have spent many hours googling for information specific to my 
problems.  I have joined other software forums and posted this same 
problem.  But unfortunately there are people who find it easier to 
find fault with my lack of experience, than provide help.  This ts-
7000 was my last chance to get help.  So thanks again, especially on 
a weekend.

Steve.
