I am trying to write a simple address book program as an exercise.  I =
created 4 folders.  The hierarchy looks like this:

Country
  State_Province
    City
Address

Each country contains one or more states/provinces.  Each state/province =
contains one or more cities.  Address folder is at the same level as =
Country folder.  Country has only one attribute: name.  State has two =
attributes: name and countryid.  City also has two attributes: name and =
state_provinceid.  Address has three attributes: street, cityid, and =
type.

In the Address form, I have a
1. textarea box to collect street info
2. select/option box to collect address type info
3. button, when clicked will open a new window to show a list of cities. =
 In the City List, there is one button next to each city to allow users =
to select it.

The question is how to show whatever users has typed in the street =
textarea box and the city, state, and country names in the Address form =
after an user has selected a city.  I know how to call SQL method to =
join city, state, & country tables.  Most importantly, I don't want to =
save the Address to the table until the City is selected.

Ping
