learningPHP1 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 hello Everybody, I have a basic user form and the information is saved or submitted by of course a submit button. In the middle of the form i have a zip code lookup field and what I like to do is run the zip code lookup script and display the country, state, and city before moving to the next field. - I have the script which looks up the zip code and tested ok. How do I run a seprate code in the middle and have the resultes displayed before moving to the next field below? any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272019-how-to-execute-a-block-of-script-before-moving-to-the-next-field-in-the-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Sounds like a job for Javascript to me, wrong board.

Christian F. Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The correct answer is: AJAX. I recommend reading up on jQuery for this, as it'll make it a lot easier for you.
