Re: remote scripting objects

Ok, fine but what about something like this: say you have a page with a dropdown to select cities and a second dropdown to select places in the previously selected city. You change the cities dropdown and normally you reload all the page to fill in the places for the second dropdown. Say also this page weigths a lot, with javascript menus, images and etc and don't want to reload all the page at each user interaction. Is there a way to reload *just* the second dropdown based on the OnChange event in the first one? This is useful even using only MS-IE, because you can use it for restricted, maintenance modules users) I know there is something about this using a Microsoft technology (called DSO?), allowing you to download a recordset, update several records on the MS-IE browser, and then send the updates in batch mode back to the database.

The javascript would have to call a PHP script on the server instead of an ASP script. It's nothing specific to MS stuff. MailingLists wrote:

I don't know if it's IIS or ASP that handles this, but there's a beast called a remote scripting object. It combines JavaScript and ASP to call a remote script on your server without having to submit your browser or load a new page. SO I can add a value to a form field and in the onchange event for that form call a function which resides in a script on the server, it hits a database or whatever and then returns a value that I can display on the same page. Is there any way to do this within a PHP script on Linux?
