Sihir yang menggunakan #ahah / #ajax properti dengan elemen bentuk, dengan cara itu Anda dapat menentukan apa yang harus memicu modifikasi dan apa yang harus diubah sebagai hasilnya, ditambah diintegrasikan dengan jQuery.
Ini adalah bagian penting dari contoh di bawah ini:
'#ajax' => array(
'event' => 'change',
'callback' => 'myajax_ajax_callback',
'wrapper' => 'dropdown_second_replace',
),
Berikut adalah contoh yang memperlihatkan halaman berbasis formulir dengan dua dropdown: daftar opsi pada dropdown kedua bergantung pada pilihan pada dropdown pertama.
<?php
