Popup window with AJAX

[meenu24]

I have a submit button , when I click it, I have to go to DB and fetch data and present in a popup window.
Since a DB operation is involved I beleive that AJAX will be a better solution. Please let me know how to do it, since I am a newbie to AJAX and UI.

Thanks
Meena

Why don't you do just the smallest bit of work for yourself on this? There are plenty of resources you can use (printed and electronic) to get more familiar with AJAX.

When you have a specific problem, then by all means ask (and this is indeed the right forum)... there are plenty of working examples and threads in this forum alone that discuss this kind of activity in more detail.

Let us know of any specific problems you have, but don't expect the code to "write itself".

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

As mentioned above we need to know specifics. What server side language are you using? What DB? How far along have you gotten (are you stuck on one part)?

It might not be better - if you're struggling with AJAX, why not do it the conentional way (post form, return to page, open popup)?

Just because AJAX is available, doesn't mean you absolutely must use it.

Thanks for your suggestions, I am using java script and JSP to do this.
