Steve,
The best way to
achieve this result is to use XMLHTTPREQUEST from your _javascript_.
You simply send a
request to a CGI program (e.g. getcust) which then sends back the details you
need in XML (or XHTML). Your _javascript_ then updates the INNERHTML
of a DIV with the XHTML.
There are many
examples of using XMLHTTPREQUEST on the web - in your case, it is best to look
for asynchronous examples. You shouldn't need iSeries examples as
there is nothing unique about
using it with CGIDEV2.

information updated on the window from the AS/400 as the user is
entering data, before the form is posted.
For example, the first field is a customer number. As soon as the
customer number is entered (ie using the onBlur event) I would like to
display the customer's name and address on the screen while the
operator is still entering other details on the form.
One way of doing this would be to have this form in a visible frame.
When the onBlur event occurs, the location of a hidden frame is
updated. (ie ) When the hidden frame is loaded, it can update the
details on the original form with information obtained from the AS/400.
Now even though this approach appears to work, it does seem an overly
complex way of achieving the result. Is there an easier way of making
this happen?
