Are you saying that you are trying to create a CSS/HTML-based dialog
"pop up" in front of the form to add a new item to the list table via
javascript I assume? You could just use javascript to refresh the
list, you could also put the list in an iframe and refresh the whole
page. It kind of sounds like you're looking for a more artificial
refresh. PHP in general is not Model-View-Controller based like rails,
so you might take Firebug (a firefox plugin) and look at the rails
final product you did and see how you could emulate the rails product
in PHP using HTML and JavaScript. I don't know of a quick solution to
this in PHP off hand.
yes we are looking at some javascript to pop up another css/html form in
front of the other form. The looking at it in firebug idea is a good
one (keep forgetting how useful it is) - we didn't do this in rails,
just saw an example that someone else did. For example, 37signals
seems to do this on the sidebar with their products.

I have the case on a select box needing to have an add capability
(popup a form to add a new element to the list table and refresh
the list) without disturbing the filled in data on the underlaying

trying to find a cool JQuery lightbox kind of dialog and didn't
see anything like this - does anyone know of a link to a good
example or tutorial of this ?
