...but apparently it's not. If I were writing this in PHP: <html><body> Okay, boys and girls! Let's open the magic box and generate a random number! (applause)<br and drum roll> <? x = int mt_rand(0,9); echo x ?><br, strike up the band> Wow! Wasn't that exciting? Oh no! I forgot the magic number<br, shrieks of horror> <? x = int mt_rand(0,9); echo x ?><br, strike up the band again> Oh, of course! How could I forget!<br, fade to black> </body></html> ...but apparently DTML *does* forget. Call that daggone variable more than once and you have to run the formula that generates a random digit! Bam! Variable's gone. Is there no way around this? Please help... BenO
