I know that. I thought perhaps there was some php construct that set up some sort of Ajax request.

This is a mod to an existing app (that I didn't write) Currently the user selects one item from a dropdown and clicks on a submit button and they get a table of data based on their selection. Via some javascript every 60 seconds the window is reloaded and the table is updated (from the db which is changing). What they want is a frame to the right of the table with a listbox with all the choices (I have that coded.) When they select item(s) from the listbox row(s) would get added to the table and when they deselect items rows would be removed. They don't want to wait for the next refresh nor have to click on a submit button.
