go to customer service, prepaid pin, and then look up 3077876962 - activate, deactivate, and recharge this is for customer service of prepaid phone cards. now - when I reload this page to refresh the information sometimes it can really take awhile. I need to somehow get the information from the user on how much to recharge the pin for. now, before I refresh the page I need to get how much the user wants to recharge, process the recharge, and then refresh the page that all of this started on. I thought it would be the simplest if I could somehow use javascript to prompt the user for a value, confirm if the user wants to recharge xxxxxxxxx pin for $xx.xx, recharge the pin, and then refresh the calling page so it now reflects the new balance. I don't want to refresh original page until this is all done because it can take sometime for this page load at times. is everybody lost now?
