Jonathan, tough your solution is a clever way to easen the burden of a partial page update, it does not not alter the fact, that javascript can not talk to the server. It only can submit a call to the server, asking it to send a new page. Whether this new page replaces the actual or a new frame (or the content of an iframe) is an other question.
It is a common error, and I have the impression Laura has fallen prey to it, not to clearly separate the server and client "place of action".

hm... actually, using XML-RPC is is possible to make Javscript talk to the server. In theroy at least. This may be lots more that Laura needs for sorting tables, but here are some relevant links from a google search: http://www.scottandrew.com/xml-rpc/ http://www.vcdn.org/Public/XMLRPC/ http://xmlrpc.kollhof.net/jsolait.xmlrpc/index.xhtml http://jsolait.net/ tthere is a whole bunch of other JavSAcropt XML-RPC stuff avialable all over the internet. And there even is a Zope-product that talks to a Zope Server with XML-RPC: http://mjablonski.zope.de/Epoz and I think Epoz is JavaScript only (unless I am wrong of course). /dario -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, IT Systems & Services Chalmers University of Tech.
