Re: javascript and php

In general: We made a script which did this, however a bit limited because of the client/server-problems mentioned. The script is part of a registration-form, and pick out a city based on the zip entered. We didn't want the list of zipcodes and cities in JS since it would be quite huge. Don't remember the excacts but in general: (simplified model) <form name=oFrm> <input name=zip onBlur='fetch();'><input name=city> </form> Fetch() is a function that opens a new pop-up window at 50x50px, and set the url-property of this window using JS (ex:) var strURL = "find_city.php?zip=" + document.oFrm.zip.value; The find_city.php script recieves the zip in a get-var, and can connect to mysql and retrieve the city etc. and closes itself. find_city then outputs JS (ex): <script> opener.document.oFrm.city.value = "$the_right_city"; self.close(); </script> The "drawbacks" here is a window flashing a short second or so... You can make this thing run queries or whatever... Wrote the above from memory, so the syntax might be a bit of, but the flow is the same. have a nice day! -Jørg V.
