>The only way I know for JavaScript to trigger a POST is by submitting a form. Setting a window or frame location always just results in a GET. Bottom line, I think you need create a form before you can post (although I could easily be wrong).

I forget the limits of a GET parm string. I know that POST offers more.

This is sooo newbie - but I can define "several forms" in an HTML - right - and each of these forms will offer a "form action". Is this correct?

>Aside: don't mix the terms Java and JavsScript. Everything you're discussing here is the latter.

Absolutely and Thanks -the legacy prototype I am migrating from is all JSP and apache - so - from time to time - I forget an wane!:)
