using php to populate textarea with css file

Question

Hi

I'm sure this is possible in php. I have several css files located in a folder on my server. I wish to list these files in a drop down menu located on a php page.

When the user selects one of these files in the dropdown, a textarea on the same page is populated with the source code of that css file.

Struggling with this one, any help much appreciated

Thanks

Without a reload?.. You'd have to use Ajax to do this.

with jQuery it would look something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#mySelector').click(function() {
    $.get('./css/' + this.val(), function(data) { $('#myTextbox').val(data); });
  }
});
