Forms again ... need help

[Anon]

Hi! Need help!

Brief scenario:
i'm coding an eshop application using php. The page which contains all my products (about 700 items) is generated by a script.

I'd like to implement the "quick order" feature: clicking on the product, automatically the main script passes the data s (i.e. product_id) about this particular item to an other script which execute a query to a database .... etc etc

The problem is: if i do this using normal submit button, the variables i need to pass are passed correctly to the other script which update the database, but i must reload my items page if i want to purchase others.
I need to pass these values "in background", without change the main page of my products.

Maybe it's very silly to implement .. i hope
Help Help Help - Thanks a lot! -

Hm... If I understood everything right, you want to run some script without reloadning your page.
The way to do it is to create in your window invisible frame and to execute your invisible script in this frame - setting just correctly "TARGET" to this frame's name when you are opening your script.
That's the way I usually do it. I create such frame, which is not used for anything else - just to run scripts in background mode.

Hm.
I've have solved this problem with posting the formdata to the script itself

form action="myonlyscript.php?param1=...&param2=.."

You can set a hidden-Paramter alternatively

Thanks Annchen, thanks Ingo.
Resolved the problem using an hidden frame :-)
