Is there a command in JavaScript that can send a value to a php page, and then recieve a few values from that page? It can't be like a form submittal because it has to happen witout the page reloading.

I'm such a JS newb...

Investigate asynchronous xml-http requests, sometimes referred to as AJAX.

There's XMLHttpRequest, as DaWei mentions, but the PHP page has to be on the same domain as the PHP page. One could also use inline frames to achieve a similar effect.

If you can do it via XMLHttpRequest then I'd recommend checking out Prototype, a Javascript library that includes several Ajax classes.

Thanks for the help... I'll look into that.
