here is the challenge, I have a webpage, with a form in it , and the button that corresponds to it of course causes a submit. The other button that I have, essentially must trigger a database call that displays content from the database, on this page.
So technically my mind understands that this button should send a GET request to the server and then I retrieve the necessary information and it is displayed. But syntactically, I do not understand how to pull this off, one way to go about doing it is to encapsulate this button in another form, that has a method called GET, and in my server side, I retrieve my information, encode it and send it back to the client. But the idea of encoding this inside a form does not appeal to me as this isn't a form, all I really want to understand is how I can trigger the GET method by clicking a button.
Thanks!
