Please help. What would the code look like to do the following?
Say you were working with customer and order tables. You are entering a
new order, and key in the customer id in the orders table. Or even choose
from a dropdown. Now say you have several other fields about that customer
that you want filled in from the customer table, ie name, address, phone,
etc... Once that customerid is entered and a tab key is hit, how do you
have the other fields looked up and auto filled in in code?
Please be basic here, I am new to php programming. But the auto fill in is
wat I am trying to learn. By the way, I'm not looking for a short list type
of thing, assume the customer table has several thousand records. Ive
heard of doing thing this with ajax. Ok how? I have no idea how the code
would look. So far I'm only up to a simple flat file database. I'm trying
to learn more now. Please see this for a more detailed description of what
I'm after. http://www.codecomments.com/archive227-2005-9-623448.html
