RE: [PHP] form field update

ok to make it clearer... <form ......> <other form stuff> <select name="machine_group" size="1" id="machine_group"> <option value="ws" >Work Station</option> <option value="serv" >Server</option> <option value="stor">Storage</option> <option value="bu">Back Up</option> </select> <select name="machine_type" size="1" id="machine_group"> the info in here needs to be gathered depending on what was selected <option value="$value" >$machine_type</option> </select> <more form stuff> </form> now what i want to do is have the option values in machine_type to automatically load depending on what was selected in machine_group with the options in machine_type repeating until no more records are found matching. The repeating part i can do no worries .. hope this made sence **All other form info must be retained....** -----Original Message----- From: Martin Towell [mailto:martin.towell@world.net] Sent: Monday, 17 June 2002 11:46 AM To: 'Peter'; Php Subject: RE: [PHP] form field update depends on what's being updated (and where that info is coming from), and if you're willing to allow the data the user has typed in to disappear after a refresh -----Original Message----- From: Peter [mailto:php@vfsa.com.au] Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 11:50 AM To: Php Subject: [PHP] form field update howdy, I am building a page that relies on a form... what I am unsure of is .. is it better to try and have form fields update them selves, using java script or the like or have the whole page refreshed with out being submitted given there will be other data entered on the page..
