[thelist] php/ajax...

[bruce]

hi chris...

just playing around with it..

i was thinking of a test app, where a user has two inputs 'a', 'b' and the
app is able to automatically compute the sum and put the value into a 'c'
field, or the user is able to hit a 'sum' button that performs the sumation
without updating/modifying the rest of the form..

thanks

That statement may not be true. For example the computation might have
to involve a database or web service lookup.

That is true, but to ensure accessibility, one should comply the
other, not replace it.

There are a lot of PHP/Ajax frameworks out there:

Without knowing what you want to do, all we can give you is guesswork.
