Refreshing only a Part of WEBPAGE

[pakistranger]

HI Fellas, This is my first time in the forum and right on the start i need help of you guys. I am a new developer and I am trying to build a page in PHP/Html. what I want to do is refresh only a part of page.

i.e User fills in the form and comes toward the end of the form where he decides how many pictures to upload and the momment he selects number of files to be uploaded from a pop up menu the bottom part of page should get refreshed having that many number of file input fields as many were selected by the user.

I am stuck and I dont want the user to fill in the form again and again and I just to keep it simple i wanna refresh only bottom part of the form. Is this possible. IF NOT please give me some other idea. Thanks fellaS

It's not possible in php (it's server side script), you'll need to use Javascript or similar. Or choose the files in a separate form.

Look for information and tutorials about AJAX

Hi thanks guys for letting me know that this is not possible in PHP otherwise I would have wasted 20 more hours with it. Thanks

take a look at iframes, frames and javascript's parent.document.getElementById type answers.

You can do some hide and seek stuff

Using the DOM (Document Object Model). See the example in this page for ideas. http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/domform.html
