Hi,

somewhere I have seen that it is possible to create a formular
with a select box and without any submit button.

if you select via the select box an item, then the new page is loaded.

how can i do that?


bye,
martin

Requires JavaScript, you create a submit function that you must attach
to the SELECT onchange event. You should provide and an alternate for
folks who have JavaScript disabled.

Thanks,

I did it like this now:

<form name="form_genlist" method="get" action="index.asp">
<select name="genfile" OnChange ="document.form_genlist.submit()">
//...

but how to do the alternate without JS?

I would say the most simply with NOSCRIPT.

<form name="form_genlist" method="get" action="index.asp">
<select name="genfile" OnChange ="document.form_genlist.submit()">
<noscript><input type="submit" value="go"></noscript>
....

It's still a wrong way of doing things, even if you use <noscript> with
meaningful content. Doing navigation that way is a very poor surrogate for
links, for about a dozen reasons, see

All this does is save most users a single click, while making the list
unusable by the many people who use only the keyboard for navigation.

[htmlwoohoo]

Hello,

What should you add to the following code to make the clicked page (Children's menus or Adults' menus) in the option display on the same page as the original page?

<form action="test.do" method="get">
<select name="test" onchange="submit();">
<option>Children's menus</option>
<option>Adults' menus</option>
</select>
</form>

I've tried with target="_self" as attribute in the form but it doesn't help.

Any input would be really appreciated.
