data entry using php & mysql

[scristaldi]

Have data entry screens where I want to enter regular data plus

 

Example

Enter f-name:

Enter l-name:

Enter add1

Enter add2

Enter city, state, zip

....

...

 

then there is associated data which is where my dilemma starts. Say a code section comes up where the entry of preprogrammed codes starts. "Like pick all categories that apply" but not all categories are entered. How does one allow the entry person to add the new category while adding the person data.

 

Is there a way to open a (pop-up?) window to allow the new category to be entered?

 

Thanks in advance to any responses.

You could do it in page by page like various registrations (say on dating sites), so they indicate the info for the new field, then the form is generated as required on the next page.

 

To do it in one page you would need to use Javascript and maybe Ajax.

 

Is that what you're after?
