mmmmm... such an annoying issue. How about the CurvyCorners javascript proj? http://code.google.com/p/curvycorners/ j

i think you're looking for a LEFT OUTER JOIN. Basically you want all records in pts EXCEPT the records where (pts.v3 = p_list.mrn), yes? An outer join matches up records then pulls out the ones that missed (on the NULLS). SELECT * FROM pts LEFT OUTER JOIN p_list ON pts.v3 = p_list.mrn WHERE pts.v3 IS NULL I think that's it... J

From a very simple standpoint, in each of your pages just set some variable for the tab number for that page and hit the include: <?php $tab_no=1; include("yourmenu.php"); ?> Then in your menu write out the menu item class (or not) based on the tab number: <?php if ($tab_no=1) { print ("<a class='current' href='mylink1.php'>Link 1</a>"); } else { print ("<a href='mylink1.php'>Link 1</a>"); }; if ($tab_no=2) { print ("<a class='current' href='mylink2.php'>Link 2</a>"); } else { print ("<a href='mylink1.php'>Link 2</a>"); }; if ($tab_no=3) { print ("<a class='current' href='mylink3.php'>Link 3</a>"); } else { print ("<a href='mylink1.php'>Link 3</a>"); }; ?> Pretty rough (and can be simplified greatly), but does that point you in some direction you can follow?

Hello to everyone. I'm John, 48 married, two kids - one in college. I've been developing software professionally for the past 23 years, but have been playing with PHP for the last 8 years. As a hobby, I like to help smaller companies, mom & pop shops and individuals with simpler websites. The remainder of my spare time (which seems to be getting less and less)... a) I practice and teach t'ai chi ch'uan kung fu b) I play bass guitar and sing backing vocals in a classic rock band
