Refreshing form data

programming
1

I have searched the site and found a ton of posts about refreshing, but I don’t see any that deal with this.

I have a form that sends basically a simple order form in an email to the owner. What I want to do is have the form set up so that when you enter the quantity of what you want into that input box, it prints the total cost of all the items.

At the same time there is a total that is being printed below based on the shipping charges (which are determined by the number of items being ordered).

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to do this with PHP and refreshing the page. Or is I should just split the page and pass it with the post variable to another page. I don’t know any AJAX, so that option might take me too long to figure out.

Anyway, thanks for any help you all can offer!

Javascript is probably your best friend here… Displaying a sum of several fields is easy, so you’d just have to program the shipping logic into it and you’d be good to go. Google around for this and I’m sure you’ll find plenty.

Thanks so much! I will see what I can find and then post any findings here. Thanks again!
