Hi Redline,

Thank you for your follow-up and helpful tips. I tried what you suggested* and it works.

I've also looked into session variables, and can imagine that these would be useful for the intention I have. Would session variables be a better or more "correct" way to do this?

Many thanks,
Eric

*I had to add a ? in one place, so that the hidden input value is:

"<?=$scroll?>" rather than
"<?=$scroll>"

I took a shot in the dark about that, and I don't actually understand that syntax. At first I thought they were opening and closing php tags. Are they? Because when I tried "<?php=$scroll?>" it did not work.
