run a query on DIV show/Hide or on button click

Hi, I'am trying  to provide a user with a historical notes view... Based on the DDL item chosen he can view notes related to that item .. I want the user to click a button  and a SQL statement will be executed .. Thoughts ? thanks

DHTML and Ajax.. Depending on what and how you need it to work, DHTML to show and hide the div. And if you require it to hit the server then Ajax to send the info over to the server. jQuery would be the best option here, or ExtJS Core or any other of the frameworks that allow for this. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Well what would you call it now, Ray, as I am not sure what today's term would actually be. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 1:00 PM, Raymond Camden <raymondcamden@gmail.com>wrote: > > Side note: Do people still say "DHTML"? :) > >

No idea. People tend to use AJAX to refer to everything, where it's really just the communication crap. :) ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Yes but DHTML is not Ajax. Hence why it is called Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language. Ajax on the other hand is as you have described it, and its correct functionality is called Asynchronous JavaScript and XML And there is a difference between how the two function. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 2:21 PM, Raymond Camden <raymondcamden@gmail.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Dude. I know. I'm just saying - it seems like I haven't heard the term "DHTML" in a while. It was just an innocent comment. ;) ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Yeah it isn't used much any more, granted... Which is why I asked / said not sure what today's term would be. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 2:40 PM, Raymond Camden <raymondcamden@gmail.com>wrote: > > Dude.
