I have a form on my site that is a registration form caontaining different dates for a person to register to a session, that we manually checking (it writes to an excel spreadsheet) and as the group gets full max of 25 people, we then eliminate the date in the dropdown of the form so that no one else can register for that session. Is there any javascript that I can apply to my dropdown menu, so that a particular date would become unusable, say once it is used/clicked sumbmitted like 25-30 times?

thanks in advance!

You are using an excel file as a data source? That's a pretty bad idea.

What scripting method are you using in the site (ASP/VBScript, PHP, etc.)?

the excel file is the only option at this point I have no development staff, as I am an only web person at a state agency... so I am looking for other ways to make things *seem dynamic* even though there not I wont laugh at you if you dont laugh at me! I am looking for just a bandaid soultion at this point.
thank you Murray
