Server side? Well, since it is the user clicking the item to get more info, it is client side.Earlier I have used the innerHTML to get the info text.Like this<html><body><li id="lst_head" class="header1">Items<ul class="txt_lst"><li id="id_lamp" onclick="lst_def_txt.innerHTML='Some text about lamp.'">Lamp</li><li id="id_heater" onclick="lst_def_txt.innerHTML='Some text about heater.'">Heater</li></ul></li><div id="lst_def_txt"></div></body></html> But it is a pain in the *** maintaining the description text. Therefore I would like to get the description text from a text file or from a database. /Jon
