(basically that's a link to Skip Williams " rules of the game " ... Williams is sort of the WOTC (owners of the D&D game) " rules guru" who clears up confusion re: various rules.. basically if he sez something it's considered "canon", same as the D&D rulebooks themselves)
But here's what I think is a particularly relevant part of it :
You can trip using the attack action or using the full attack action. You also can make a trip attack as an attack of opportunity.
If you use the full attack action to trip a foe and your base attack bonus allows you to make multiple attacks during your turn, you can use the extra attacks to beat up the foe you've just tripped. If you do that, your foe's reduced Armor Class (from being prone) is a benefit for you. (You also can use your extra attacks against other foes if you want.)
If you have the Improved Trip feat, you can immediately make a free melee attack against a foe you have tripped.
