hi
I am looking for the most efficient and fastest way to perform validations.
The client has to enter a company code and some related information.
The company code needs to be validated from the company master table before
an update.
I could have a combo box with valid company codes.
iF i enter the codes in the html file against the option tag, it would mean
editing
the source code each time there is a change in the master table.
If i am to populate the combo box with the values from the server, will
this happen each time
i refresh/reload the page? In this case, it would be very time consuming.
I could have a hash table and access the data from there. (i am new to the
concept of
hash tables)how faster is this and is the hash table residing in the servers
memory?
I could have somekind of include file which has all the valid values and
this could be used
to populate the combobox. This file could be changed when there is a change
in the master table.
However, is there a way this could be on the client side so as to make it
much faster.
I am also told XML can be used to accompalish this faster. Any pointers in
that direction?
Any help would be appreciated..
thanks in advance
Vineet
