afterupdate event

[mary555]

is there a way to make an event like frmL.submit happen after a text field is updated (ie after the person enters a value and moves to a new text field?

use the onchange event.

<input type="text" name="t1" onchange="alert('you entered: ' + this.value);" />

did you try moving to a new text field? if you did, and it still doesn't work, then you definitely have javascript disabled or a javascript error elsewhere on your page.

Are you sure you want to submit? In that case, use onblur like this?
[tt] <input type="text" name="t1" onblur="if (this.value != "") {this.form.submit();}" />
[/tt]
The only hole is that what do you decide to do if not entered any value...

Colliding quotes. The line should be read like this.
[tt] <input type="text" name="t1" onblur="if (this.value != [red]''[/red]) {this.form.submit();}" />[/tt]
