OnChange Submit form

[netcashin]

With a dropdown box, I would like for the form to be submitted when a option is selected.

What should I set the OnChange to for the dropdown box or is that the wrong way to go?

Thanks

onchange = "document.forms[0].submit();"

I'm pretty sure that's the only way to go.

SOP is to set onChange to be a javascript function you build that pretty much just contains the following:

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function dropdownRedirect(){
  var dropdown = document.forms[&quot;[i]your_form_name[/i]&quot;].elements[&quot;[i]your_dropdown_name[/i]&quot;];
  var URL = dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
  window.location.href = URL;
  return true;
}
</script>

and the dropdown would look something like:

<form action=&quot;javascript:void(0);&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; name=&quot;[i]your_form_name[/i]&quot; id=&quot;[i]your_form_name[/i]&quot; onSubmit=&quot;javascript:dropdownRedirect();return false;&quot;>

<select name=&quot;[i]your_dropdown_name[/i]&quot; SIZE=&quot;1&quot; onChange=&quot;javascript:dropdownRedirect();&quot;>
<option value=&quot;#&quot; SELECTED == SELECT A SITE ==</option>
<option value=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://myurl_1/&quot;>Site[/URL] name 1</option>
<option value=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://myurl_2/&quot;>Site[/URL] name 2</option>
<option value=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://myurl_3/&quot;>Site[/URL] name 3</option>
</select>
</form>

Sorry... misread the question.
bombboy is completely right. For some reason I read you were trying to redirect the browser instead of submit the form.

Long night.
