Edit Post

Hello! I have noticed that when the "Edit Post" button is clicked on this forum, it is linked to "editpost.php," but it stays on the same page and just adds a box to edit your post. How does this work? I would like to implement this on my website, but I can't figure it out. Thanks! :)

Probably some Javascript magic.

That certainly clears things up! :) Would I just use the innerhtml=newhtmlcode to do this?

its possible that field is hidden and just displayed when you click the button.

but what you may want to learn about is ajax.

This will allow you to create post/get requests and output their responses to certain parts of your page.

I'm thinking that just writing a form that gets displayed on the click might work. Thanks for the ideas. :)
