Pop up help

[battleangela]

Hello

I was wondering if it was possible to have a pop up event to contain and display data from a database ? I have a page with a list of books and want when the person clicks, they have a pop up with information from a database.

There are several ways you could do this:

1) Use the javascript window.open method
2) Use CSS to display more information in the form of a pop up div tag (with the information being gathered when the page loads)
3) Use an AJAX method to go and retrieve the data each time the user selects a record

Depending on the number of records per page, I'd go with option #2 or #3 and most likely #3.
