Answer 1

For this purpose you need to learn ajax.This is used to make a request without reloading the page.so that you can make a background call to mysql

your code will be something like that

$("#submitbutton").live("click",function(){

$.ajax({url:"yourfile"},data:{$(this).data}).done(function(data){
//this data will in json form so decode this and use this in div 2
var x =$.parseJSON(data);
$("#div2").html(x.val());
})
})

and "yourfile" is the main file which connect to server and make a database request
