Can Someone Suggest An Example Online

[BeeRich]

....actually, not just for this specific request, but any place that has
examples would be great. I guess I need more Prototype AJAX resources.

I'm looking to do the following:

I have a one field form. Using an onChange, I want to trip an
ajax.updater. How do I do this? For the life of me, I can't get this
thing to work.

This is a prototype application:

function sendRequest(action) {
var myForm = document.forms[0];
var myProv = myForm.getElementByID('s_province').value;
alert("weee");
ajax = new Ajax.Updater(
'presentation',
'backComm.lasso?choice='+action'&s_province='+myPr ov,
{method:'post'});
}

<form method=post id="province_input"
onSubmit="javascript:sendRequest('form_provinces') ">
<input name='s_province' id='s_province' type=text size=20
onChange="javascript:sendRequest('form_provinces') ">
<input type=submit value=go>
</form>


Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

getElementById (_not_ ID) is a method of the document object, not of form
objects (although you could use the elements collection of the form).
'backComm.lasso?choice='+action'&s_province='+myPr ov, ^^^
something missing?
Any suggestions appreciated.

Turn on the JavaScript console in Firefox or Opera (other browsers may also
have reasonable JavaScript consoles, although I can't find one built into
IE). The error messages should have drawn your attention to these issues.

ok I fixed her up real good. I've always had FF's tools turned on,
plus 2 more I've installed.

I found that it was passing a strange parameter when I tried to grab
the value of the field in the form. So, I fixed it by submitting it
directly in the JS call with this.form.fieldname.value, or something
similar.
