updating db with javascript generated fields

[gypmaster]

Hi,

I have a db which, simplified, looks like this:

Id Text
001 First Line
002 Second Line
003 Third Line

etc...

When my page loads, I want to display all the existing lines in textboxes i.e.
001 First Line
002 Second Line
003 Third Line

so fra, so good ... simple stuff ...

Also, I have functionality (javascript) which allows user to add other textboxes e.g.

004 Fourth Line
005 Fifth line

again, so far so good ... javascript working fine ... so, at this point, the page may look like this:

001 First Line
002 Second Line
003 Third Line
004 Fourth Line
005 Fifth line

what I want to do is ... when user clicks Update button (or some other mechanism to trigger) ... the added lines (or all lines) are passed back to php script which updates the database sop the db has the same data as appears on the page ...

any ideas??

Your question is kind of vague, do you have a table lets call it entries for lack of a name that has an id column and a text column where you want to insert new rows of data into when the user has entered data on a form? Or do you want to ALTER the table entries to add new rows based on the result of a form? It is hard to answer your question based on the table structure you have presented so far.

Hi Houdini,

the answer is BOTH ... the user can add new entries or change existing ones ...

I don't want to have to use a Submit button as I don't want to redisplay the page ...

is there a way for me to do this???
