form-tak php and javascript

Hello world :-)

My problem ist to have a line like this

<form ... action=3D"url/script.php" .... onsubmit=3D"return running();">

the function running() is a Javascript- function which should call a =
php-script, just to set a value in a variable and to know that the form =
has been submitted, and than close this php script.=20

But how to start a php-script within a Javascript-function which will do =
this??

I know it's sunday, but... :-)=20

please for a help or hint wouild be fine.

Michael

Hello,

With this sunny sunday, I guess I won't stay long at home :)
However I'll take a few seconds for answering you.

You can give a try to Ajax requests. I allows lightweight server script
call through HTTPXmlRequest and should be OK with most browsers. I used
to create a SCRIPT element for almost the same purpose but it could'nt
work on Safari as Safari refused to load an external source during
creation.

Have a nice sunday computing!
