edit table rows from popup

norpel

Hi,

I have a page (browse_people.php) which displays a table with a list of people in the database and their details in the same row.

At the end of each row I have a link called 'edit' which links to another page (edit_person.php) with a form to edit that person's details (I've made this page already).

How do I make this link open a popup (edit_person.php?personID='.$personID.'&...), which, when I press save button will submit to itself, then does some processing to save the data, closes itself and refreshes the parent window.

I've been messing about with some javascript to do this, but can't quite get it to work.

It's this last bit that I'm stuck on, submitting, processing then calling a javascript function to close itself & refresh parent.

thanks for any help/advice, it's much appreciated,

Sounds like you just want a Javascript onclick handler to open the popup window. Nothing to do with PHP here.

the bit I'm stuck on is how to get the onclick handler for the save button in the popup to...

Submit the page to itself so it can save the values (PHP)
refresh the parent window
close the itself (the popup window)

if it was just parts 2&3 then just javascript would do, but I need to have this php functionality too. (i think)
