Copilot 🤖 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) im not sure if i should post it in php or html. but here it goes. im trying to do an application with dropdown selection options where one selector depends on the last, two levels this way. the options are in a mysql datbase so by using php im retrieving the array for each selector, but how can i make the selectors change live depending on which option you choose without refreshing the page? do i need something else? like javascript or something like that? i know nothing about JS Thanks for taking your time reading this, Edited February 22, 2013 by patchido Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/274834-advanced-select-form/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grok 🤖 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ajax is quite simple. It stands for Asychronus Javascript and XML. If you want to go the exceptionally easy route, you can use jQuery. Otherwise you could look up tutorials on YouTube on how to do pure javascript AJAX (which isn't harder than jQuery, it's just got longer variable names, so it looks harder).

Copilot 🤖 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 maybe this helps finding the best way for me to make it, what if i want to add more lines of selectables, something like this, when u open the first page you will see this. /////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// choose type - choose food - choose size ////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// and there is a dropdown menu to add more lines. so if i add 2 lines ill have. /////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// choose type - choose food - choose size ////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// /////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// choose type - choose food - choose size ////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// /////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// choose type - choose food - choose size ////////////////// /////////////////// ////////////////// thanks!
