带按钮的PHP表单

Question

I have some experience in JAVA GUI programming and I want to achieve the same in a PHP form.

Situation: I want to have a php form with a submit button. When the button is pressed an ActionEvent should be called to update another part of the form.

How to implement such a feature with HTML,PHP,JAVASCRIPT ?

Answer 1

Load latest version of jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

HTML code:

<form>
 <button type="button" class="formLoader">Click button</button>
 <div id="formContentToLoad"></div>
</form>

jQuery code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
  $(".formLoader").click(function(){
    $("#formContentToLoad").load("scriptToRun.php");
  });
});
</script>

Whatever markup you need to update in the form, can be put into scriptToRun.php
