Re: Refreshing a form starting from a combo box change

What you're asking to do is generally a client side thing (getting the browser to fill in a form is normally done with javascript). You *could*, I guess, get the combo box to submit the form, which PHP then prints out prepopulated, but its rather a waste of resources. Unless, of course, you need to populate it with a database query, in which case get the combo box to submit (using JS), perform your query, and use a lot of print statements to send the prefilled form back. Check a javascript site for info on how to do it with JS. If you need more help, you should take this to the PHP-General list. This list (PHP-DEV) is for actual development of PHP, not the use of it. adamw ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luiz Augusto G Flores (Amix)" <lflores@vesper.com.br> To: <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 11:12 AM Subject: [PHP-DEV] Refreshing a form starting from a combo box change > I'm new in this list (subscribed yesterday, at night) and already new in PHP > Programming. > I guess sombebody has already answered this question: > How can I procced to update a form from a combo box change, bringing the > rest of values necessary to fill the form ? > > An example: > A form with > > Name: -> textbox > Adress: -> textbox > Company: -> combo box > Contact: -> textbox > > When you choose a Company (this combo is filled from an Oracle database > table), the Contact textbox is automatically filled with its contact in the > same table). > > Thanks for any help > > > > > Luiz Augusto G.
