Ajax Noobie :) how do i get part of my page to correspond to my listbox value?

[LJackson]

Hi Guys,

i am new at this ajax/javascript stuff but i would like to use it :D

i have a drop down list with 5 values in it.

entertainment
computing
electronics
clothing
misc

and depending on that selected value i would like the following query to be run

$stores = "SELECT *
FROM stores
WHERE category = 'Electronics'";
$query = mysql_query($stores);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){?>

<div class='storecontainer'>

<div class='storeheader'>
<?php echo $row['storeName'];?>
</div>

<div class='storeinfo_link'>

<div class='storeimg'>
<?php print '<img src="' . $row['logo'] .'" alt="' . $row['storeName'] .'" />';?>
</div>

<div class='visitstore'>
<a href="<?php print $row['storeLink'];?>"><img src="images/visitstore.gif" alt="Visit Store" title="Visit Store" border="0" /></a>
</div>

</div>

<div class='storedesc'>
<?php echo $row['description'];?>
</div>

</div>
<?php
}
?>

now im not sure if this code is ok or if it will need to be translated into js? also the category = 'Electronics' bit of my statment will need to represent the current list value?

can anyone help me get this sorted out, if it is at all possible

many thanks
Luke
