php to Ajax or something?

[Gaogier]

Hello

I will first explain what I am trying to do.

http://runehints.com/calculators/mining - use gaogier to test

You see that it has 3 pages before you get to the actual calculator well thats not very user friendly, and as our users 86% of them use our calculators daily, I think its best if we make them user friendly.

Here is a design I want http://runehints.com/images/calclayout.png

Here is the code http://pastebin.com/bAHHeVkU

Now if your still confused on how I want the calculators to work, you can view this http://global-rs.com/calculators/mining/

So, what exactly are you asking?
It looks like what you need to do here is setup an ajax call on your clientside page that will call the server (executing the php code) and receive the echo statement containing your HTML table and use javascript to place that on the page. Is that what your going for?

I don't actually know what it is I am looking for.

If this would make it work just like our rivals then yeah, I just tell that to the developer and they should know?

I don't know the background of your dev...

your competitor appears to have their table already built in the HTML, and their AJAX call just gets the raw data from the server, then inserts that into the HTML table (which would be more efficient than fetching the whole HTML from the server with each AJAX request) and you could go that route if you wanted. Or, considering what you already have- the quick shortcut would be to do what I said before. It would save a little dev time now, but cost more in the long run...

Either one would accomplish your goal of having a similar calculator to your competition (because they are using AJAX for their calculator).
