Subject: Help need in text populated

Question
I am wondering if you would help me with this?
   
    I am using _vbscript or _javascript with asp to doing web application.
    In the form(TextBlur.asp), first time you have to put PatientNo and patient last and first name, mid name information by type. After push submit button,  these four fields data send to database table named tblTextBlur.
    Ever since then when you come to filling this form, you want after you typed PatientNo, the rest three fields will automatical populated.
    How can you complete it?
Appreciated!


tblTextBlur

1         C21192-01 Martin   Charles    H.
10        21201-01  Tolbert  Jimmie     L.

Answer
Basically, the idea would be: Whenever someone submits data on the form, you have to check the database if the record exists. If it exists, then the record should be displayed, Otherwise, the record has to be saved as a new record.

This code can be implemented in the event that the textbox loses focus in ASP.net while in classic ASP, you can only implement it on submit/post.

Let me know if you want details.

Thanks.
