Oh okay. Then my previous advice may be all of useless. Multiple submits like what you describe are probably best.
If you wanna give it a try though, try something along these lines:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function update()
{
var x=document.getElementsByName("input_txt");
document.getElementById('output_div').innerHTML = "<p>" + x[0].value + "</p>";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="input_txt" name="input_txt" type="text" size="20" /> <br />
<input type="button" onclick="update()" value="update page" /> <br />
<div id="output_div" name="output_div" /> <br />
</body>
</html>
Basically you define an empty div, and then you use the DOM and javascript to manipulate it afterwards by embedding a function in your submit button.
Here's a few (MUCH) more competent examples of how to use this stuff:

Just ask if you need it explained. Hope this is what you were after.
Good luck, hope it helped.
