Hi, i have an employee profile page so it updates a persons details after a user fills in their details.
i want to make it so i have a drop down list (linked to DB) and when i select name = Adam Bell it will refrsh the page and pull out all details for Adam Bell from the employee database.
i have got the drop down list, how can i make it refresh and add all the details in a text area for their details.
Cheers

This would actually have to be done with JavaScript (which is different on each browser until all browsers adopt a standard). The two biggest ones in the windows world are MSIE and Netscape (obviously) and I think it is similar. Just have something like:
Im not sure if that syntax is 100% right, but that will redirect the user when they select a name in the box to "view_details.php" with the ID in the query string. And have the view_details.php file load the information from the database. Like I said, this is JavaScript, which I dont do much with. Its either onChange or onSelect, but I cant remember which one exactly. Maybe another person here will know the exact syntax, but that is about how it goes. Best of luck!

Code: Select all
<select name="emp_drop_down" onSelect="location.href='view_details.php?id=' + document.formNameHere.emp_drop_down.selectedItem;">
<option value="1">Whoever</option>
<option value="2">Next name</option>
<option value="3">And so on...</option>
</select>
