Bravo Jim!  Your "off the top of the head" JavaScript worked excellently!
I even added some additional hidden fields to it and I didn't mess it 
up. LoL
Seems like when I'm ready to actually start learning JS (after I master 
PHP of course) it won't be that difficult.

Thanks for all your help! ;-)
