I am using a form to submit the data to get the records from the database.
In the form I am using the two select tag options.
So after selecting the options the form should submit without using the submit button.
I am waiting for the response to submit the form after selecting the inputs without using the submit button(or any button) it should submit automatically.
Make a function to check everything you want has been set, and then if it has, submit the form:
function submitIfFormComplete()
{
// Check the select has something selected
if (document.getElementById('selectOne').selectedIndex > 0)
{
document.getElementById('formID').submit();
}
}
Then on your select, bind the onchange event to run the function.
Here is a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/JE6AM/
Select your car make:
<select id='sel1' name='selectCar' onchange="checkAndSubmit()">
<option value="0">Select...</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<br/><br/>
Select your gender:
<select id='sel2' name='selectGender' onchange="checkAndSubmit()">
<option value="0">Select...</option>
<option value="Male">Volvo</option>
<option value="Female">Saab</option>
</select>
Javascript:
function checkAndSubmit()
{
if (document.getElementById('sel1').selectedIndex > 0
&& document.getElementById('sel2').selectedIndex > 0)
{
//document.getElementById('formID').submit();
alert('both have been selected!');
}
}
I've replaced the submit with an alert() to show you how the code triggers.
Edit: You can use $_REQUEST['selectCar']
to access the value.
Every form has a submit()
function.
<form name="myForm">
...
</form>
can be submitted with
document.myForm.submit();
Jquery has been used to easily to submit the form.
<form id="test">
<select name="select1" id="select1">
</select>
</form>
$('#select1').change(function() {
$("#test");
});
<form action="submit.php" id="submitform" method="post">
Name:<input type="text" name="nm"> <br>
Age:<input type="number" name="age">
<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('submitform').submit()">submit</a>
