Hi, hopefully somebody may have some suggestions on this one as I'm too not sure if it's even possible.

I would like to display the results of a query in it's typical continuous table view on the left of the screen and to the right have a second "form" that displays additional details/fields on the record selected in left table - as you click on a row in the left table, the right form updates with additional info - a bit like with Access using a sub-form. -

All the data to display is all in the same SQL table and I'm working in PHP.

All the querying and form building etc I'm comfortable with, I'm just not sure on the best way to incorporate a different view on the same page.

I'm working on a personal project that is a backend SQL/PHP system, not a webpage for public consumption. With this in mind I thought using Frames may be a solution although maybe some what inelegant? I could also do two half screen popups but I want to try to keep it on the same page if possible.

Hopefully you can follow the above and it's makes sense and any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Are you familiar with AJAX?

[christh]

I'm not unfortunately - I guess would it be easy enough in that language?

AJAX is a technique that uses JavaScript along with PHP.
