Unfortunately my users are demanding this functionality:
They are on a form. Click on an "add" button. An html window pops up.
They add a new item that is saved to the database. The window closes.
The HTML select box REFRESHES itself with the new informaiton (Primary
key and text field) WITHOUT submitting the form.
I tried to get away with a text box on the form that would dynamically
repopulate the select box, but no-go- they want to follow the above
process exactly with the new window, etc.
What is the easiest and most cross-browser compatible way to run a new
database query and repopulate the select box? It sounds like Ajax to
me, but I'd rather go with a less MS-centric solution.
Feel free to just point me to a cookbook link, I couldn't find one
online
thanks for everything!!!
