Exisiting record form
Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 12:54 pm
I am designing an application that allows me to monitor music charts
At some point I need to input the individual charts
I am going to use a form to input the artist and track for it's respective position but I was wondering what the best way was to find entries that are already in the database.
Say there are already three Beastie Boys tracks in the database, I want to be able to select the artist 'Beastie Boys' instead of creating a new record in the database
Am I best off just using a SELECT box and preloading the artists into it or using some sort of search page that uses JavaScript to fill in the form?
Do you have any better ideas?
Thanks
Rob
