Auto Submit

[scott]

I have a combo in LISTING 2 that I'm trying to force a sumbit when a user
makes a change. Can anyone see why it doesn't fire LISTING 2 code?
It just doesn't do anything. What I'm really trying to do is access the
value of the combo after a user makes a change. I'm just hardcoding the
teamID querystring in this example.

LISTING 1
-------------
<script type=text/javascript>

function showTeams()
{
document.addFor m.action = "./mypage.asp?team ID=5";
document.addFor m.submit();
}
</script>

LISTING 2
------------
<form action="mypage. asp" method="post" name="addForm">

<select class="FormText Box" name="cboCatego ry"
onchange="javas cript:showTeams ();">

<OPTION value="1">Work Schedule</OPTION>
<OPTION value="2">Meeti ng</OPTION>
<OPTION value="3">Mills </OPTION>
<OPTION value="5">Teams </OPTION>
</select>

Works fine for me in IE. I suggest, since this is a client-side issue and
not an ASP one, that you investigate further in a client-side group, such as
m.p.scripting.j script.

OK guys, I found the real problem because my simple submitted version worked
for me also.

IThe combo in LISTING 2 fires the Onchange event perfect. However, LISTING 3
will not fire my ONCHANGE event because I've inserted a "hidden" field after
the form tag. Now, if I have a hidden form element anywhere inside the form
tags, onchange won't fire.

Why would a 'hidden' form element cause a javascript onchange event to not
work?
