activating submit button with drop down list

[staypuffinpc]

Hi all. I was just wondering how I could activate the submit button by the user just selecting what they want from the drop down list. I thought I might be able to use the javascript command click() together with the onChange or onSelect cmds but that doesn't seem to work, which might be due to the fact that the drop-down list is not in the form per se. That is, I use the list on a number of different pages and in a number of different forms, so I've created a function that simply generates the html for the select list (which gets its values from a mysql db). I tried something like this:

<code>
<select name=\"subject\" onSelect=\"click(document.form.go);\">
</code>

Which obviously doesn't do squat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try this

<SELECT name = 'subject ' onchange="document.formname.submit();">

Thanks, I was able to get:

onChange="document.formname.submit();"

to work, but only in conditions that won't work with my site. That is, no variables are passed, which is exactly what people are choosing from the select list. Also, it doesn't work at all if there's a:

<form action=somepage?this=that&1=one> type clause.

Any suggestions? thanks for the quick reply.

btw-for anyone who's following this, 'submit' is actually the word submit and not the name you give to it, whereas formname is the name you give to your form.
