Alright I am clueless on how to set this up. I have 5 questions, right below that question I have the answer. However, I want to enhance the look....what I want to do is have the question linked so that the answer appears right below the question

I did a similiar feature for our "news" script.... I did a search and found this... then broke it apart into a php script

you can see my example at http://www.xnet.org/

  </tr>
<?php
if ($_GET['q'] == 1)
  {
?>
  <tr>
    <td>Here is the answer</td>
  </tr>
<?php
  }
?>

The db behind this board glitched, and this thread and several others were showing at zero posts.

I came here to answer or at least read, and saw you'd posted ... didn't know if the OP would get mail notified or not, so ... now the post count is correct, anyway...

Yeah, kinda weird, I know ... :rolleyes:

ya I noticed that earlier while I was at work.... figured it was just some weird cacheing error on the network there.... (seen some weird issues this month, such as a page that no longer existed on a server appearing when I queried it... and I mean a REALLY old page was displayed)

back on topic....
that works iBuddy, but I was looking for a method that worked w/o reloading the page.... I might use that method though to make things a bit simpler though....

sure thing, feel free to use it works great...just add bookmarks if you need more then one ...ya having the page not reload would be nice

ya, plus I went through a lot of trouble to break that code up and get it to display right with PHP

well worth the trouble, but it IS very limiting since I cant make the "Drop down button" trigger any php functions or anything
