We are adding a page to our web site to give users the choice of answering questions to get the information they need or simply typing their request into a text area. The questions are displayed in a second window.

If the user answers the questions displayed in the second windows, is it possible to update the text area with the answers to the questions without having to redisplay the page? If so, how can this be done?

Thanks for your help.

Use javascript. PHP is server side, which means that you will need to tell the server something and the server will answer what it is supposed to.

Javascript is client side, so you can have things like form validation and update pages without submiting to the server.
