Hello all!
I'm new here... and new to most of the technologies I am trying to string together into a working interface. My background is in C/C++, so this whole web development thing is new to me, especially when I have to string together 3 or more different technologies to do what I want...
Anyway...
I am attempting to update a SQL database when a user leaves a textbox. Really, the optimal solution would be to update the database in realtime, so that no changes are ever lost (this is a safe database, no one will be using it with malicious intent... locally hosted for local access only, security not an issue). After much searching, I have been unable to find any way to do that, but it seems like I should be able to update the database once the user leaves the field (with a Javascript onBlur event, I would assume). However, I can't seem to figure out how to leverage my PHP, MySQL, and Javascript commands to do what I want. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!
