alicefreak Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 MY DropDown is working correctly. Can some one tell me how i can go abt the following: I have a drop down menu with say 5 student name options and a text box which displays student address. when I select one of the student name's i have to get the respective student address for the student name that i actually selected from drop down menu from my mysql database.

radar Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 ajax is definately the way... you would do an onChange="doSomething();" on the drop down.. then you'd run regular ajax to call/read the output from a php file.... you'd probably be best @ taking the results and putting them in a delimited form such as: name:address:city:state:zip:grade:gpa etc.. then in javascript exploding that into an array and using document.getElementByID(id).value = to set each individual value... otherwise you could throw your entire form into a span with an id or a div with an id and using PHP to echo out the entire HTML for the form and then using this inside javascript: document.getElementByID(id).innerHTML = returnText Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211200-auto-fill-forum/#findComment-1101669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
