What has to happen is my index page has to check and pass variables for the selection to work.

Has anybody done something like this or am I totally off base.

Please point me in a direction.

Thanks in advance

Go West, young man.

Elaborate a little more, your not being very clear about your problem (hence no replies).

The area where the Calendar is displayed is wrapped in a div tag. What is displayed is another web page from a different site. He is providing the calendar service.

When you choose some search criteria and click go we want the output to display in the same area. but because his page is shown using an include the search criteria variables seem to get lost. So he says I have to do some testing for the variables and if there are none then just make the include point to the default page otherwise if there is search criteria I need to append the url with the variables and point to the url with the variables ie include("http://url?var1&var2&var3")

I had tried but noting seemed to work and thought I would ask is anyone has done this. Once again here is the link to the page: Race Calendar

Thanks

Does any one know how to check the form variables of a page that is embedded using an include from the parent page??

If this is not possible I cannot find anything to tell me so.

Please help.

When you include a file, the included file runs in the same context as the file doing the inclusion.

I finally figured it out. Just another new concept for a beginner
