Sorry if this has come up before.
I want to update a select list from a mySql database whenever the
browser window gets the focus. This is because I anticipate that the
user will frequently use a second window to make additions to the
database that holds the list values while filling in the form, and I
want those additions to be in the select list when the user returns.
At present I have PHP querying the db before I output the body tag, and
an onLoad() handler passes the returned records to a Javascript which
populates the list box with the query results, but I have only figured
out how to query the db when the page initially loads. I really need to
query the db and invoke the Javascript every time the window gets focus.
So, I guess my question is twofold: can I invoke a php function with an
onLoad handler, and if so, how can I have onLoad do both things - run
the php function to query the database, then run the Javascript to
populate the list box? Or is there another way?
TIA,
Chuck Mayo
