Syntax for onChange in popup

[audiopro]

I want to tidy up a popup by having it submit onChange but I am unable to get the syntax right. I have seen similar examples of this but just cannot get it right.

my $SELLSTAT= $query->popup_menu(
	-name=>'sellstat',
	-values=> \@SellStats,
	-default=>$results[40],
	-onChange=>[red]'document.forms.pstat.submit()',[/red]);

The form is called 'pstat' and works ok with a submit button.
Am I on the right track and is this method reliable across all browsers?

isn't 'forms' an array in the DOM?

document.forms[0].NAME OF FIELD

or

document.forms[0].submit();

Thanks
It may well be an array of the model but I cannot get the syntax right.
I have tried it every way up but can't get it to work.
When I search, I find many references to property not supported.
I have worked round it using individual submit buttons for this app but wondered if it is possible with a drop down list.

With form name properly formed, pstat is well-formed, it should work just fine. Hence, if there is error on the onchange handling, it should be due to other reason.

[0.1] Make sure pstat is the "name" attribute's value (not id or whatever other named attribute on the form element).
[tt] <form name="pstat" ...>[/tt]

[1] The form I would be much preferred for the reason of making it independent of the hard-scripted name of the form's name is this.
[tt] -onChange=>'[blue]this.form[/blue].submit()'[/tt]
as long as you want the "popup_menu" submit the form where it is the child thereof.

[1.1] [tt]document.forms[0].submit()[/tt]
as suggested should work as well as long as it just happens to be the first form in the document order.

ps: There is a spurious comma (,) in the posted lines after the =onchange=>'...'. It poses no special problem and is perfect acceptible to the engine, but it seems a typo all the same.
