Re: Creative solution with XML,PHP,MYSQL

Relax, XML has N.O.T.H.I.N.G. to do with what you want to do. You want dynamically update (rebuild) HTML page, well, the only way to do it currently in more or less compatible way is to use javascript+DHTML. And the result will SUCK, i know, i've done it. So, go the way the elders did. Refresh the page and pass the script a parameter which says how to sort the data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Siim Einfeldt aka Itpunk" <siim_e@pshg.edu.ee> To: "Peter Skipworth" <skip@peterskipworth.com> Cc: <php_uk@yahoogroups.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net>; <mysql@lists.mysql.com>; <php_mysql@yahoogroups.com>; <php@topica.com>; <XML-L@topica.com> Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 5:38 PM Subject: Re: Creative solution with XML,PHP,MYSQL > > > But I`m pretty sure it is possible with XML, in theory at least, I get > the data from the database, I write it into array, put into xml and then > deal with it - that`s how I imagine it. > > DHTML doesnt seem the best way to do it...but then maybe its just me. > > > cheers > Siim Einfeldt > > > I'm afraid XML isn't going to help you - you need to investigate DHTML > > options, although you'll be lucky to find a solution which is > > compatible across both Netscape and IE. > > > > regards, > > > > P > > > > On Sat, 17 Feb 2001, Siim Einfeldt > > aka Itpunk wrote: > > > > > Hi everybody, > > > > > > I want to implement ordering something on a website without refreshing the > > > page.
