If I have in my PHP script a variable... $searchterm = 'Drawing'; And I want to update 'Drawing' to be 'Cooking' w/ a jQuery hover effect on the client side then I need to make an Ajax request, correct? What I can't figure out is what that is supposed to look like... something like... $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "myfile.php", data: "...not sure how to write what goes here to make it 'Cooking'..." }); Any ideas? -- Nate Hill [log in to unmask] http://www.natehill.net
