Submit a form by the click of a radio button 2

[EchoAlertcom]

Hello,

I have 3 sets of Radio Buttons with 2 radio buttons per set all on one page. Each set is in their own set of Form tags. I would like the form to be submitted when the radio button that is not currently select is selected. Like an On Off button set.

I know nothing about javascript so if you know how to help out please be very obvious about everything.

Sincerely,
Steve

Hello there,
It's a piece of cake Here is a sample script:

<form action=&quot;

http://localhost/&quot;

method=&quot;post&quot;>
Radio1 <input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;rd&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; onchange=&quot;form.submit()&quot;><br>
Radio2 <input type=&quot;radio&quot; name=&quot;rd&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; onchange=&quot;form.submit()&quot;>
</form>

You can use the event that you need (onchange, onclick, onselect, etc...)

Goodluck

Hi Steve

You can do this with the onclick event for the radio button like this:

onclick=&quot;document.forms[x].submit()&quot;

Replace the x with the number of the form you want to submit (numbering starts at 0).

A better way may be to call a function which submits the form in the same way (in case you want to do something else) but the above will work fine.

Remember that by making 3 seperate forms and submitting a specific one you will only submit information from that particular form.

Cheers
Richard
