Hi, I'm new to JavaScript and I urgently need a way to force the submit event. What I need is that whenever the value in a dropdown list changes, the page sumits itself, just like if the user had clicked the submit button.
I already know how to capture the change event for the dropdown list, but I don't know how to tell it to make the submit by itself.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advanced

use the form's submit method:
Code: 
<body>
<form id="blahForm" action="" method="post" onsubmit="">
   <select name="blahSelect" onchange="[!]document.getElementById('blahForm').submit()[/!]">
      <option value="1">1</option>
      <option value="2">2</option>
   </select>
</form>
</body>

Yes it did, thanks a lot.
I'm sorry I hadn't thank you before, but when I did, the tektip server went down or something cuz' it didn't write the reply.
Now I would like to know if there's a way to know the value of a textarea without sending the request. I already checked and there's no value attribute for this object, does that mean that there's impossible to know its value?

Thanks again
