How to get form to submit???

Greg Scharlemann

I have some php code to handle the following form is submitted, but
because there are two places the form submits I get an error. If the
drop down changes, the php code will grow the number of city/state
combinations, if the button is clicked the data is added to the
database. Perhaps there is a better way to grow the number of
city/state combinations while still retaining any text previously typed
into the input boxes?

Thanks for your help!

An error? WHAT error?

<table border="0">
<form method="post" action="test.ph p">

Your HTML is invalid. http://validator.w3.org/

<select name="showCity" onchange="submi t()" >

window.submit() is undefined by default, and you don't define it in
your code.

Possibly you want to call it as a method of a form element?

what does do here this form tag outside regular way of html flux ?

<form method="post" action="test.ph p">

<tr>
<td colspan="4">Def ine up to 50 City/State
combinations.<b r/><br/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">Ins ert
<select name="showCity" onchange="submi t()" >

onchange="this. form.submit()"

onchange="submi t.click();"
(it would have been much more better to haven't named your submit-button
'submit' ... ! )

<option selected value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>

.../...

<option value="50">50</option>
</selectCities:<b r/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City:</td>
<td> <inpu t type="text" name="city0" size="20" value=""
maxlength="100" /></td>

why with an align=right do you need those spaces ?

<td align="right">& nbsp; &nbs p;<b><u>State</u>:</b></td>

<td>
<select name="state0" size="1" >
<option value=""></option>

..../...

<option selected value="CA">CA</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" align="center"> <br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add" />
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>

I changed the name of the button for simplicity sake.
Thanks for the help!
