Hi Guys I have 1 dropdown menu that shows all my customer's names. There is a popup window (You can see in the code below) that allows the user to add new customers. My problem is I need to reflect the new customer in the dropdown menu, without the user hitting refresh on his browser. All sample codes I've come across uses AJAX and/or Jquery for cascading pulldowns where there are more than 1 dropdown menu's. I can't seem to find a dynamic pulldown that auto refreshes for just 1 pulldown menu which I can use for reference. Shoudn't this be easier? Can anyone help? The code below pretty basic. And I get the impression I need to use AJAX and have the dropdown options in another php page?, And possibly use JQuery as well? I can't seem to wrap my head around these new features. It's been a long time since I did any PHP coding as I left the IT world a long time ago... Here's an extract of my code (Pretty standard PHP stuff with no AJAX or Jquery) <?include("config.php"); $connect=mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass)or die ("Mysql connecting error"); $result = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT * FROM CustomerDetails ORDER BY Name");$options=""; while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {$id=$row["CustID"]; $name=$row["Name"]; $options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"$id\">".$name; } ?> <title>Create Ticket</title><head><script>function open_win_addCust() //popup for user to add new customer{window.open("AddCustomer.html","_blank","toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=500, height=200");}</script></head> <body> <form name="form1" method="post" action="AddTicket.php"> <p>Customer</p> <p><select name="Customer" size="1" id="Customer" <OPTION VALUE=0>Choose <?=$options?> </select> <a href="javascript:open_win_addCust()">Add Customer</a> <br> <input type="submit" name="Create" id="Create" value="Create New" /> <br> </p></form></body></html> Can anyone help? Thanks!
