I'm looking for a way to update the visable content of a page (e.g. TABLE/IFRAME) without losing the data I have stored in an array.
I want to retain the array (refreshing will I believe destroy it) in order to cut down on the number of database transactions I am getting. So far the only way I am aware of doing this is to assign each element individually as a session variable, but I dont want to do that becasue of the amount of data. As far as I know I cant assign an entire array to session variables.
I am also not sure if I use an IFRAME with the array held in the main page how to transfer data across and back.
The array is meant as a temporary storage for a number of tables, thus needs to be queried on writing of the table and also updates on a button click.
Either ASP/VB Script of JavaScript solution would be great.
What about posting the array data back to the page.
The can use the url querystring or hidden values in forms to do this.
Its a common way of maintaining state without a database, session variable or text file.
