popup input to sql?

[adamck]

Hi Guys.
I need a javascript prompt popup which allows the user to input 1 line of text, when they submit it, it will update a sql table using php.

The reason is for a user to decline a job, when they click 'reject job' it will popup and ask for a reason.
The reason will be stored in mysql.

Please help!

Yo can use prompt function. From it you can take the input and then update the database accordingly
like that:

prompt("Please enter your name","Your name");

Hi,
I can make the promp ok, and i can pull the variable using this tutorial

how do i send the variable to php/sql without refreshing the page?
This is the part im stuck with

I want
User presses button - popup requests a comment and presses ok - comment is then entered into sql table - user is back where he started.

The only way to do it without submitting the page is with AJAX techniques. Otherwise, you'll have to submit the page to send the data to the server.
