Re: [PHP] JS prompt - php

2007-02-08 Thread Ryan A
Hey Tedd,
Thanks for replying.

The problem is, I know how to do this via a drop down select box and a text 
box... I want to do this via a javascript prompt, which is where I am getting 
stumped.

Cheers!

Hey all!

Quick question (and hopefully a simple one)

I have a link on a page, when the client clicks that link it should 
show them a JS prompt and ask for their name (so far I have done 
this)

When they write their name, I want that data to be sent to my php 
script via AJAX (yes?) so the page does not reload or anything 
(actually, how can i reload the page to reflect the change?)

I have googled but I see whole ajax classes and what not, I dont 
know if I am using the correct keywords or what...  you would happen 
to have a working piece of code that you could share with me.. would 
you?

Thanks!
Ryan

Ryan:

Your terminology is clear enough and you're on the right path, but 
it's not simple.

The way it works is that you have a javascript ajax file, which is 
loaded by your main page and creates a request object. When the user 
clicks something, it receives a send request, and handles the 
response, which in turn updates the page via the DOM without a 
refresh. Clear?

Keep looking at ajax.

Cheers,

tedd
