Hey all! Quick question (and hopefully a simple one) I have a link on a page, when the client clicks that link it should show them a JS prompt and ask for their name (so far I have done this) When they write their name, I want that data to be sent to my php script via AJAX (yes?) so the page does not reload or anything.... (actually, how can i reload the page to reflect the change?) I have googled but I see whole ajax classes and what not, I dont know if I am using the correct keywords or what... you would happen to have a working piece of code that you could share with me.. would you? Thanks! Ryan

Ryan: Your terminology is clear enough and you're on the right path, but it's not simple. The way it works is that you have a javascript ajax file, which is loaded by your main page and creates a request object. When the user clicks something, it receives a send request, and handles the response, which in turn updates the page via the DOM without a refresh. Clear? Keep looking at ajax.
