submit form by radio button selection

harman

Hi, can we submit a form by selecting a radio button (something like onClick or something). My problem is i have two tables which users can view by selecting either one through radio buttons. they can search for a particular record by either entering a value or by alphabets(by clicking on A B C ...). If the user enters a search value, its ok i can pass the table name in that form, however if he wishes to view the records by clicking on any alphabet i dont know how to pass the table name cos the alphabets are links (<a href="webview.php?lletter=A">A</a> <a href="webview.php?lletter=B">B</a>)...any suggestions

Hi,
try to use hidden field called "lletter" and when user
clicks on alphabet, you can do something like this:

Where form1 is the name of your form...

what doesnt work? You get a jscript error?!? don't do anything?

lets me do an example:

 
<form name=form1 action=webview.php>

<input type=hidden name=lletter value="">
<input name=search value="">
<input type=radio name=table value="tab1">
<input type=radio name=table value="tab2">
<input type=submit value="search">

</form>
<a href="#" onclick="document.form1.lletter.value='A'; document.form1.submit(); return false;">A</a> 

<a href="#" onclick="document.form1.lletter.value='B'; document.form1.submit(); return false;">B</a> 

<a href="#" onclick="document.form1.lletter.value='C'; document.form1.submit(); return false;">C</a>

...hmmm...
i've tested my example and work fine.

Do you look any javascript error on status bar? a yellow symbol?

And you be sure you write the "return false;" or don't work...
