PHP MySQL JavaScript innerHTML

[Warren Wyght]

I would like to display data from a MySQL DB on a PHP page after it has been rendered. I know I could use JavaScript's innerHTML but I don't know the most intelligent method of getting a dataset to the page from the MySQL DB.

Is there a "best" way to get a dataset to the page and then have JavaScript parse through it showing one item at a time? I can parse through the set but don't know what I should use to hold the set.

There will be data coming from the MySQL DB for each div meaning all five. Do I use 5 arrays or is there a more correct way of doing this?

Thanks

<form class="my_frm" name="sm_main">
<div class="my_scr">Which Library</div>
<div class="my_bk">Which Book </div>
<div class="my_ref">Which page and line</div>
<div class="my_prompt">Author and Date</div>
<div class="my_vrs">Place information here</div>
</form>

You may use AJAX for adding data to webpage after it has been loaded.
First create a XMLHttp request object using javascript,which will be sended to a .php script at server side and the response from php script will be parsed through javascript without any page refresh.
A simple tutorial on AJAX may be found at http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/
