i think you dont have to keep flag information to show. you can make flagnames same with country names in country list so when a user select a country, the flag path appeared automatically with a variable.
example:
dim country
when a user selected a country from list you can transfer the countryname to flagname with that variable
country = country_list.value
flagpath = "..../forum/flags/" & country & ".gif"
i think this can help you.

It would probably be better to write the code in ASP/VBScript instead of JavaScript, since JavaScript won't always be executed (since its client side)but ASP/VBScript will (since its server side). ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

Thanks, I've been looking for this.
The only problem I see is that the strAuthorLocation displays the full country name, and the GIFs you provided use abbreviations.
In my case, since I don't want to modify the strAuthorLocation to be abbreviations, I would add a CASE statement to convert the country name to the appropriate GIF name. ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

Yes, the web does not like space in the filenames. Did you get it working? ------------- http://www.wistex.com" rel="nofollow - WisTex Solutions http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums" rel="nofollow - CaribbeanChoice Forums |

the reason why it does this is because you need to put quotes round the image url, if you leave it how you had it in the example (eg <img src=flags/united kingdom.gif> the space breaks the url so try doing this:
