Javascript var to php in reloaded frame

[Anon]

What I need to do:
I have a combo box, when the person select an item in the combo box I want a picture to change based on my choice(not a problem) and I want to use the ID number from the combo box to display dynamic display data related to my choice.

I understand that javascript is client side and php is server side. I looked into storing all the possibilities into an array (not the problem), when I got to the part where I say which index of the php array I wish to display I don't know how to use the javascript value.

They NEW way I am trying to work around the problem:
I created 2 frames, the top frame passes to the bottom. I got the picture changing dynamically, but there is still the basic problem of passing the javascript variable to php. I wanted to reload the frame using the value from the drop down box.

I don't know if I can reload the from and pass that value like you would from one page to another.

I am willing to try just about any solution. Please be specific in your examples.
Thanks

javascript:

document.top.frame_name.location = "php_page.php?var=" + 1;

and the bottom page will load the php page with $var == 1.

Oh, I think that will do it. I have spent DAYS working on this and decided to suck it up and just post the question.

Glad I did :-)
