auto execution on pull down menu's

Anon

Hello!

Just a quick question.

Could anyone point me to the location or post some code that will allow a script to execute or reload a page ($PHPSELF) with some values when an \'option\' is selected from a pull down menu straight away, rather than pressing a submit button?

I know about this link:
http://www.kill-9.dk/ttl_php_select.php
but that shows how to use it to load another site/page, whereas I need to make it send values to be used by php either to the same page or another script just as if a submit button had been pressed.
It looks like the javascript may need modifying but my programming skills are all that great yet 🙂

Thankyou in advance!!

Actually, the JS looks just fine. What you need to do, is in the option definition, set the variables you want to pass. For example, you might have an option tag that looks like:
<option value=http://www.yourpage.net?somevalue=2>PHP.NET</option>

That should do the trick

Good luck

Hello:

I found this page 'cuz I'm trying to do exactly the same thing Paul wants to do, with the exception that I want to pass some other values contained in other input objects. (text boxes, other pull down menus, etc)... This solution doesn't send the values of the rest of the objects.... Any ideas?

Ciao!
