Auto Submit a Checkbox

[judyksp]

I have a form which is shared by both the ADD and EDIT function. However, there is one area where if I am in the ADD mode, I will automatically check the checkbox and then I would like to auto submit the form. If I am in the EDIT mode, I can change the checkbox manually (ie uncheck the information) and then submit the changes myself.

My problem is that I am not able to auto-submit the form for the ADD mode.

My coding is something like this:

<form id="Schedule" action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php'); ?>" method="post">

<?php if (substr($this->params->get('page_title'),0,3) == "Add") : 

   <p>
       <?php echo JText::_( 'I WILL GO' ).': '; ?>
       <input type="checkbox" name="reg_check" CHECKED />
   </p>

else : ?>

   <p>
       <?php echo JText::_( 'I WILL GO' ).': '; ?>
       <input type="checkbox" name="reg_check" onclick="check(this, document.getElementById('el_send_attend'))" />
   </p>

<?php endif; ?>

<p>
<input type="submit" id="el_send_attend" name="el_send_attend" value="<?php echo JText::_( 'REGISTER' ); ?>" disabled="disabled" />
</p>

<p>
<input type="hidden" name="rdid" value="<?php echo $this->row->did; ?>" />
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'form.token' ); ?>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="userregister" />
</p>
</form>

What should I change to make the form auto-submit without clicking on the submit button when I am in the 'Add' mode?

Is this:

<?php if (substr($this->params->get('page_title'),0,3) == "Add") :

<p>
<?php echo JText::_( 'I WILL GO' ).': '; ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="reg_check" CHECKED />
</p>

else : ?>

the checkbox you're referring to? If so, try something like:

<?php if (substr($this->params->get('page_title'),0,3) == "Add") :

<p>
<?php echo JText::_( 'I WILL GO' ).': '; ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="reg_check" checked="checked" onClick="this.form.submit()" />
</p>

else : ?>

Hi Brad

I tried what you have written and it does not work. The form is submitted but the check is not activated. I changed from check="checked" to CHECKED and I managed to get the checkbox defaulted to checked but the form is not submitted.

Any other ideas?

change it from onclick to onmouseup

Would "onchange" also work?
