Help with "refreshing or updating" a form

[jayaime]

I need some help with writing a code for this scenario:

I have a report that allows users to sign their name once they've updated the report. Now and again, that user's manager may need to update that same report and I need to know how to allow that report to refresh with the last person (which would be the manager) who updated the report. Or if the report can retain the user's signature who originally did the first update and then the manager's who edited the report.

I believe it will be best if this is done via javascript, but I don't know where and how to start...I am very new to javascript. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jayaime

What do you mean by sign their name.

Are they using some sort of graphical pad to actually sign their name and have that signature displayed as a graphic of something?

How is this report being stored?

My apology,
Let me be a little clearer. They don't actually sign, but, if the user/manager edits the report, it places their name in the box, "Prepared by:". Initially, it was only the user not the manager editing these reports, but now managers need to edit. So, I need to find a way to add also the manager's name w/ out removing the user's name.

The information is stored on an Oracle database.

But, I think I kinda figured out a way. My thoughts were to create another table in Oracle for editing so it updates each time the user or manager edits the report.

Thanks for responding.
