CGI is not really appropriate. In CGI you can only rebuild the whole page and each action requires a request back to the server.<br />
<br />
The only pull-down menus type of operation I have seen uses some of the features of the new browsers which I am not familar with and I don't think it is currently possible to do it with both Netscape *and* MSIE in a standard way.<br />

You are welcome. Sometimes it's hard to understand the level <br />
of person who is asking question and how long will it take <br />
to explain detailes. (BTW - just note that for clean solution <br />
it may be not bad idea to add 'go' button for old or <br />
buggie browsers. Netscape 2.* has a bug in onchange() <br />
event.)<br />

I am just looking for a well documented example. &nbsp;So if anyone knows a place I can dig up an great example of a pull down menu including how the input is processed and acted upon that would be great. &nbsp;I was going to do it in Java but am thinking it would be easier in CGI. &nbsp;Thanx for any help.

Pull down menus?..

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
