That is, Harbour is my CGI app, and my database engine, and it does everything else too). However, your client side code is precisely what I need to improve my understanding of Ajax. Everyone at my level should read it ! To Evertjan who said: /* In the contect of this NG, I would fancy serverside Javascript for the NG's sake also also because some functions can be written for both serverside and clientside in one go, for instance validation routines. So why not build your own clean and lean code for the problem at hand? And improve on your code only the next time you need the functionality? There must be some joy of programming left even in the most desillusionned of programmers. */ I've never used serverside Javascript. I spend 95% of my time at the Command Prompt on my dev machine developing Browser pages, and then adding/editing Harbour code for the changes I make on the pages for my clients, then testing, re-tedting, crashing, etc. Then, re-testing on Chrome and FF and Safari, etc. But, I guess I've decided to continue to build my own code -- incl Ajax. OT: My daughter called last nite and wants advice on how to initiate and improve her IT/IM credentials (she's a lawyer by training and Privacy expert by experience, and is currently a Manager of Privacy in a Canadian Health Authority network). She wanted advice on how to get credentials as an IT manager. She mentioned Java and Python and asked for my opinion if they were useful for her to look into. Since I used Harbout for *everything*, I couldn't help her : (( Anyway, thank you both for the guidance. With Tim's code as a crutch, I'll start building my app. -Mel Smith
