updating database using a function

anfetienne

hi....(im back lol)

is it possible to write a function that can be called up on everytime someone fills a form and submits it so that all work is done in the same page?

hey dorm.....i mean.....

say i have a picture and i want to comment on it....i fill in the comment box and click on the submit button.....i dont want it to refresh the whole page, i want a function to run in the background that will post it to a DB and also refresh the connection so the last post can be seen on the page

what you describe is an AJAX request. but I don’t see why anyone should be disturbed by a form submit triggered page reload. (that’s what I’d expect, despite that it works even if JavaScript is disabled)

lol im sorry for the name, it;s just shorter to write when im rushing......

what you say is true, but its just the case of having to reload everything on the page....didn't want it to do that but it may be the best option

whatever you do (AJAX or not), it’s your choice. eventually, the code behind is nearly the same.
