Server Side Or Client Side

[WelshNoob]

A web page has, down left side, a number of select form buttons, choosing options for name, date etc.

The main body of the page - to the right of the select buttons - is a single column/line combo chart.

 

I want to make selections from the left side, press a 'submit' button and see an updated chart.

I make another selection, press 'submit' and the chart updates again.

 

All of this happens without leaving the same web page.

 

My current set up - the 'submit' button calling a php file - when I press 'submit' an updated chart appears in a separate window.

 

Is this related to server/client side scripting and do I need to use a different technology?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Welcome to FusionCharts Forum!

 

This is related to server side scripting and you can use any server side scripting language like ASP,PHP,ASP.NET etc.

 

This can be done also using JavaScript.

Hi,

 

Please find the zip file attached.

 

This is a very easy and simple application to suffice your requirement.

 

Here, the chart has been created using JavaScript and you would not need to call any other file to render the chart.

 

This application has some input boxes to provide chart data and after clicking on the button, the chart will render in the same page within the form.

 

Please try this and give us your feedback.

 

Hope you will love this!

Thanks for the link - works really well!!

 

Now, if only we can populate the boxes with lists from a database (say, a list of salespersons attached to one button, a list of products to another, and sales figures to another), giving options to select which, when chosen, are then used in a query on the same or another database to dynamically generate a chart ..... that would be amazing.

 

Thanks
