simple form question

[nagyagi]

I'm new to JS and I need some help with a form that I'm working on.
I have form with a checkbox that I need submitted if it's clicked on without having to hit a submit button.

I have used it on a drop down, but it doesn't seem to work on the checkbox

Code: Select all

<form id="tax" name="tax" method="post" action="">
Sales tax charged? <input name="salesTax" type="checkbox" value="Y" checked="checked" onChange="document.forms[0].submit()">
</form>


What do I need to do to make it work?

Well first of you need to give the form a destination, the action variable is empty.

It's processed on the same page (PHP).

don't you still need to put the page in?? If it is still passing it to the right page, in what way doesnt it work??

I put the page in, just to be sure. It still didn't work.
BTW, if it's left blank then it uses the same page to submit the form to.

In what way it doesn't work? I uncheck the checkbox and it's not reloading the page.
What I need is if a change is made to the checkbox then submit the form to the same page, get value and update DB and redisplay the whole page.
I just need help with the JS part. The HTML/PHP/MYSQL part I can handle.

Thx.

So it sends the information before its changed the value??
