I have an issue in XMLHttpRequest in the code below, it is not working as desired. Can someone help !

In brief: This program is accepting the value from the user on the fly it should update the RATEMASTER_draft table. If user presses F5 to refresh, it still holds the values, for which I am reading the table again and inserting the values again into the input box.

But for some reason the data onchange is not updating the table.

<?php include 'accesscontrol.php'; ?>

<?php
$dbservertype='mysql';
$servername='localhost';
    $dbusername='svga';
$dbpassword='aa!@#';
$dbname='svga3';


connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
function connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpassword)
{
global $link;
$link=mysql_connect ("$servername","$dbuser","$dbpassword");
if(!$link){die("Could not connect to MySQL");}
mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error());
}
//////// End of connecting to database ////////
?>

Onchange means; “after change is done” in another way after element has lost focus.

Only after you finish selecting onchange will be triggered.

If you want to do that from keyboard just choose item with up and down and select (ENTER) and then make that element lose focus by pressing TAB

And , for preventing ajax calls to be cached add a unique timestamp data to the urls
You can do it by changing lines like this ;

xmlhttp.open("GET","ratecst.php?q16=" + str16 +"&ts="+new Date().getTime(),true);
