you would be looking at ajax...

 

suggest you look at using jquery to help you here - its easy to learn and very powerful - puts the fun in javascript development.

 

jquery

[trq]

Doesn't have anything to do with ajax. Just remove the <script> tags, put it within a *.js file, source the file using....

 

<script src="nameoffile.js">

 

Then call it however you like.
