Hi,

I am not familiar with DHTML and how it can be used to
talk to PHP to update a certain part of a page. That
is all I need, is one section of the page, not the
entire page, to be refreshed. The part is just text
from a database. However on the page I want
backgrounds, images etc but I don't want these to
refresh, just the text from the database.

What you have said below seems exactly what I want.
But I have never used DHTML. Could you show me a
example of both frames (just the source) of how one
talks to another please?

Jerry
