Hi Diodeus,
Can't seem to get it to work correctly... I can get it to appear in a
div tag though, i know that it's something simple that I am doing
wrong to make it show in a as the value of a text box.
Like this :
var url = 'ajax.zip_code.php';
var params = 'zip=' +
$F('cust_zipcode');
var ajax = new
Ajax.Updater('document.form1.cust_city.value',
url, {method: 'post', parameters: params}
or This
var url = 'ajax.zip_code.php';
var params = 'zip=' +
$F('cust_zipcode');
var ajax = new
Ajax.Updater('cust_city', url, {method: 'post',
parameters: params}
Thanks, Joe
