Hi,

I have a web page (diary) which displays records from a database.

I have another page (selector, that acts like a pop-up window) that allows a user to select which records appear in 'diary'.

When the user selects the records they want to appear, how can I retrieve the records in 'diary' without having to click Refresh?

Thanks.

There's two ways around a refresh: do everything on the clientside, or use an AJAX solution. Which you use depends on how much data there is and how much traffic it'll get.

Either way you'll need some pretty decent Javascript skills.
