I have a form with several input fields and would like to have information updated on the window from the AS/400 as the user is entering data, before the form is posted.
For example, the first field is a customer number. As soon as the customer number is entered (ie using the onBlur event) I would like to display the customer's name and address on the screen while the operator is still entering other details on the form. One way of doing this would be to have this form in a visible frame. When the onBlur event occurs, the location of a hidden frame is updated. (ie onBlur="parent.hiddenFrame.location.href='getcust.cgi? custno=12345") When the hidden frame is loaded, it can update the details on the original form with information obtained from the AS/400. Now even though this approach appears to work, it does seem an overly complex way of achieving the result. Is there an easier way of making this happen? Steve ------------------------ Yahoo!
