How to make onChange event to send data to another URL

[michaelcoleman]

An Exerpt of my code looks like:

<form action=&quot;Exec.asp?prj=webSPC&cls=Report&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; >
TesterType:
<select name=&quot;testertype&quot; onChange=&quot;location='Exec.asp?prj=webSPC&cls=View2'&quot; >
<option value=Chassis>Chassis</option><option value=RCVR_BDC>RCVR_BDC</option>
</select>
<p>

When someone makes a selection of the option box, I would like to send the data to &quot;Exec.asp?prj=webSPC&cls=View2&quot; which happens to be the same page. (Using some ASP to talk to some VB code)

The problem is that this code only refreshes what's already there and doesn't seem to post the changed data. I've seen this done on websites, can't figure out how to do it.

Please Help

You're simply shanging the location rather than submitting the form. Try something along the lines of:

<script>
function doRedirect(strURL){
 var objSource = event.srcElement;
 var theForm = objSource.form;
 theForm.action = strURL;
 theForm.submit();
}
</script>
<form action=&quot;Exec.asp?prj=webSPC&cls=Report&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; >
TesterType: 
<select name=&quot;testertype&quot; onChange=&quot;doRedirect('Exec.asp?prj=webSPC&cls=View2');&quot;  >
     <option value=Chassis>Chassis</option><option value=RCVR_BDC>RCVR_BDC</option>
</select>

hope this helps.
