Hi,
Many thanks for your reply and your efforts.
I am also surprised about not understanding AJAX. In the past, more then 30 years ago, I have been programming in several languages among them Pascal, Forth as well as Z80 and 6502 assembly. I found programming took much time but I always got the programs to work.
After that, during the period websites contained text and the odd picture, I did program some HTML.
Over the past decades I didn't do a lot of programming as, thanks to the more powerful hardware, the available programs got more flexible and I had no need to write custom made programs.
Towards the end of last year I have started to learn some PHP but a few months ago I found I need some AJAX to accomplish what I wanted to do. I started reading about JS and AJAX but to my disgust I found I just don't get it. I will look at your code and try to understand how it works.
I have uploaded the code you supplied and it looks great but like you predicted it doesn't work yet. I had made a mistake but I have corrected it.
Now the result looks like this:

As it is getting late over here (I am living in Europe) I will again take a closer look at your code tomorrow to try to understand it and try to find the problem.
Again, many thanks for your kind help and your efforts.
Regards,
Fred.
