Hi There,

I am writing an input form as p[art of a project to input data into data boxes. The fields are:

blah blah.

In my MS Access database I have set upto 20 records e.g. <Record20_Name>

What I want to do in the input form is have like the input boxes for record1, then once this s complete, the user can either click on a button for a next line of input boxes to appear? Basicallly I just don't want the user to see 20 rows of boxes, else they wont fill it in

I've been told this needs to be done in JavaScript? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

you could do that with a roundtrip to the server, AJAX (XMLHTTP request) or plain javascript.

depending on the other content of the page i'd prefer the roundtrip - so you make sure your fields are at least partially filled if the user decides to leave before the editing ended (with a save button?)
