Jacinthe, you can only do that in a client-side scripting language (i.e. javascript). If you need to, you can have PHP create javascript code, but why someone would want to do that instead of just coding the javascript into the page is a beyond me.

Actually, I have a similar need with spawning dynamic content within a page. I know it can be done with JavaScript, but we are trying to follow W3C accessibility guidelines which recommend that web pages don't depend on client-side scripting languages to generate content (text-readers do not recognize JavaScript).

As Ryan said, "you can only do that in a client-side scripting language."

You could do it with a Java applet, but what the hell would you do that for.

JavaScript is it.
