Automatic Drop Down Box

[Anon]

Is it possible to create an automatic drop down box (i.e. a SELECT box) with NO submit button? I know how to do this with javascript, but I would like a PHP solution. The MOST important part is saving other data in the same form. Because there's no submit button, all the other data doesn't get saved in the page refresh.

Any ideas would be a big help.

Thanks,
Dan

Err...

if i understood correctly you have a select down box and once the value is changed by the user the form should get submitted automatically using PHP.

When the select box is changed, it is still "within" the page. PHP runs on the server side, so unless the form is submitted, how would PHP know what has happened to the select box?

If you don't want to use javascript just for compatability with javascript disabled or older browsers, you could simply detect the browser and then show/not show the submit bottun!

That's the answer I was looking for...I want to figure out what was selected, but without refreshing the page.

I guess javascript is the only way...

Thanks for the reply,
