simple question i think, but i have a single form with a drop down list, i want the form to submit on change of the list box, i have tryed having
onchange="javascript:this.submit()" and calling this function

<script type="text/javascript">
 function DoSubmit(form) { form.submit(); }
</script>

but still nothing, any ideas? cheers

perfect, thanks! new it was a simple one

have another one, i have the same list box

problem i have found now, it submibts on onchange, when the page first loads, the first item thats in it, is selected, so if say you wanted to submit on that first item, you have to select somethin else, and then go back and select the first item again

so i need the first item to be like '- Select Item -', but this gives another problem, you can select the '- Select Item -' item, and it then submits using this, which is ..well bad, so is there a way to have it so onchange it calls a javascript function that 1. removes the first element ( the '- Select Item -' entry ) and second, submits the form - but this cant just remove the first entry, as it submits to a frame below, so if you were to submit more than once, it would remove the next element and so on, deleteing data
