Thanks for your answers. So it can be done but my way is not the way
to go:-(.
not very practical - Jerry
it is a bad idea - Shelly
not that this makes this idea any better - Capt Para
But am not a lot clearer on the 'best way'. Simplifying I hope,
suppose a user accesses my one page website, s/he sees unpopulated
fields (Forms?) for:
Student Number
First Name
Surname
Faculty
Major
So ..
1. The user enters Student Number, clicks Submit
Server uses Student Number to access an sql table
Server sends page with first name, surname, faculty, major populated
goto 1.
Is this a practical web application?
Thanks again
Graham
