Refresh a form page, but keep the information

mccareth

Hi there,

I'm new to PHP, but I'm learning. I have a form that a user puts information into, then there is a link which they click that opens a popup window to do something. What I want is when the user closes the pop up window the main window will refresh, but keep the information that the user has entered.

Is this possible? If anyone can help me out I'd be very, very greatful!

Thanks.

you need javascript to accomplish that kind of thing.

PHP only processes things before they are sent to the browser.
You want to process things after they are sent to the browser, and you want to respond to user events (clicking on things).

Thanks.

have a look at: http://www.w3schools.com/js/
or a site like this, check out the examles they have.. you may find something there.

i dont know much about JavaScript either, however I would imaging you would need something like onClose it sends a command to the other browser to refresh it.. maybe using php to remember the things that are in the fields?

i wud need to do some more research but you may find something useful from this... good luck!
