[UPHPU] modal popup form over form

[Nathan Lane]

Are you saying that you are trying to create a CSS/HTML-based dialog "pop
up" in front of the form to add a new item to the list table via javascript
I assume? You could just use javascript to refresh the list, you could also
put the list in an iframe and refresh the whole page. It kind of sounds like
you're looking for a more artificial refresh. PHP in general is not
Model-View-Controller based like rails, so you might take Firebug (a firefox
plugin) and look at the rails final product you did and see how you could
emulate the rails product in PHP using HTML and JavaScript. I don't know of
a quick solution to this in PHP off hand.
