Hi,
I have a Patient intake form which takes Patient information like FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, DATE OF BIRTH, ADDRESS, CITY, and POSTAL CODE.
When a user enters FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME and DATE OF BIRTH it should fill the rest of the fields (ADDRESS, CITY, POSTAL CODE) if I have a record in my database.
I am using JAVA with MYSQL and I pull records when a user leaves DATE OF BIRTH textbox.
I don’t know weather I should store everything in a dropdown or I should have a separate form for the matched records from where the user can click the record and fill the rest of the fields.
Please note I have to achieve all this using JAVASCRIPT.
Any ideas, suggestions or samples?
Thanks
Thank you for the reply. I figured it out.
Thank you for your post but I just want to make it clear that I will pull the data using JSP and MYSQL after onchange dateofbirth and I will have the matched records I just want to fill the rest of the fields if user selects a record using JavaScript.
You will want to use Ajax techniques to communicate with server-side code to retrieve the appropriate info.
There is a book called Bulletproof Ajax that has very good instructions on how to achieve this, along with the [url=“http://bulletproofajax.com/code/”]code from the book which lets you see things in action.
If the client-side script already has the data, then we can help you to do that.
In order for us to help, we need to know two things.
- Where the data is contained.
- The HTML fields that you want to fill.
