Live update select

I'm new to Jquery... I have a select listing all the files within a directory (listing done in php) and an upload form on the same page adding files to this directory.

I am looking for a way to update the select listing without refreshing the page when the uplo ad is complete (I have an onComplete function). I have looked into the .live() metho开发者_运维知识库d without any success.

I think AJAX is your answer. Read the documentation http://api.jquery.com/category/ajax/

You have to write a PHP function to get the list of new files, run the AJAX request to get this new list when onComplete then update your HTML using these new elements :)
