Jan,
data binding -- sounds good.
As this is an intranet and the entire page is generated by a script I
can easily create one page or the other based on browser in use.
But this is a perfect case,imho, of USEFUL use of dhtml, javascript
etc.
I will only make on query of the database and then create the page.
The list of job numbers and their descriptions will be saved to
javascript arrrays. I have already done this with javascript. When a
person enters the job number the javascript verifies based on the
arrary that is in the page already and then it gets the right
description from the other array that is already in the page. I have
this working with an alert that is really bothersome. If it could
write to the space below where the user enters the job number then
that would be ideal.
Your saying that it can be done is a push to get me discovering how.
Thanks,
Peter
