Update form page, from a drop down.

Post by mcharrytun »

Good afternoon, morning or evening,

I am relatively new to php, I have been doing it for about 2 months. I am to a point where I would like to get a little more fancy.

I have a dynamic form page, being updated by a MySQL database. This all works well. But what I would like to do, is have a top dropdown full of say employees. Once an employee is picked from the dropdown, I would like to populate the rest of the form page with data.

I am not sure how to make the page refresh or even what the proper terminology is.

Please forgive me, I am a simply Oracle DBA.

Thanks in advance for your time.

You know, i could have sworn Vancouver is in BC. :wink:

What you want to do is only possible in Javascript without refreshing a page.

I've seen it done, but it's not a code snipplet i'm very familar with though. :?
