Say I have a div with a form in it. What I would like to do is POST
the form to a php script, then show the results that the php page
outputs in that same div, without refreshing the entire page.
This seems like a client side issue, so, I would think it could be
done in Javascript, however, I'm not sure how. I downloaded the
Javascript Prototype library, so if there is a way to do it with that
library, then that would be good.
Does any one know how to do this or have suggestions?
Thanks.

You should look for AJAX... and how to use that...

I'd say only relevan to comp.lang.javascript. The only thing PHP related
is you'll have a script delivering an HTML fragment rather then a full
page. It would work the same way if you used .NET, Perl, Python, or
whatever you fancy.
f'upped to c.l.javascript only.

Please log in for more thread options your form action should submit the information manually to your server
script and then stop because you obviously don't want the form to
submit again using its default behavior. You can use the
XMLHttpRequest object to send the information to the script and wait
for the response using the object's onreadystatechange event.
Here's a nice tutorial that should help you along the way:

You're confusing types of scripts. You cannot transmit a form result to PHP
without a page reload, because PHP is a server side script.
You are looking in the right direction with javascript. It's just a
confusion in terminology. This has nothing to do with PHP (except perhaps
coincidentally if the form overlaps with a javascript form).
