How to make only part of the script to refresh with out refreshing the entire ?

[ghurty]

Hi

 

I am have a script, and in that script I have a section that pulls information from a database. I also have a drop down box that allows the user to slect which category they want the data to be pulled from. As of now, the way I have it, after they make a selection, the entire page gets refreshed and the new category is loaded. How can I make it that only that section of the script gets refreshed?

 

Can an example be given, as I am new at this.

 

Thanks

use

FRAMES

INNER FRAMES

POPUPS

or

AJAX <--better choice

Thank you.

 

I forgot to mention that I dont think I could use frames due to the framework that I am working in.

 

Can someone post an example how ajax would do it, as I have no knowledge of it at all.

Thanks
