This may be an HTML or PHP problem, or Java as well. I am trying to write an alphabetical index from inside a php file. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish: PHP script searches the My SQL table A link is generated out of each itemOn clicking on the link, a php variable is setand the script moves on. I need information for a function that the onClick refers to. I've only found rudimentary examples, and none are any help. So, I'm sending the problem to you. tim
