    Hi all,

    I'm looking to build an affiliate site that would compare the services of a lot of companies. Original idea, right?

    I want people to have the option of selecting similar companies for a comparison and have unselected ones removed from the output page.

    1) What would be the best method of doing this?

    2) Is it possible with HTML and forms or would I have to go with a PHP setup?

    3) If PHP do you know of an exisiting design or script?

    Thanks in advance,

    JB

    k.....so not everyone at once. lol.

    I don't really need code per se, but more or less a point in the right direction.

    Thanks,

    JB

    OK, your back end should be a database where all the info is kept. The middle tier would be your server side script which would query the DB and issue the html pages. Form controls on the pages would be used by the visitors to select the data they want to see.

    So, you pretty much had it figured out. Nothing left now but to do it. :)

    cheers,
