sayedsohail Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi, Sorry for my silly question, I have got a form which contains 20 fields, one of the fields is a drop down list box, which contains a sql query results, this results are huge, thus i am worrying for the speed. I thought about an option ie., populating the results in a separate window and onclick method just bringing the select info to my form field. I am able to populate the results in a separate window, but just having problem in select the result from it. Any suggestions, please advise.

monk.e.boy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I guess you'd need javascript to return the result to the parent window. You have a user interface design problem, not really a PHP question monk.e.boy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49442-how-to-select-makemodel-from-populated-sql-query-list/#findComment-242383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't and for good reason, some evil spammer would do this and I'd lose all control of *my* browser. You need to re-think how you are going to display this info. Take a look at ebay.com, they manage to display lists of millions of items by splitting them up into 20 per page and using product hierarchies. Again, this is a user interface design problem, not a PHP problem. You need to ask a web site designer. monk.e.boy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49442-how-to-select-makemodel-from-populated-sql-query-list/#findComment-243331 Share on other sites More sharing options...
