Trouble with onchange submit() event

[milo3169]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup an event to submit this form when I do an onchange from a drop down list.

First I created the list dynamically with PHP, but when I do an onchange it comes up with an error saying - document.form1 has no properties. Any idea on why this is coming up with that error? Is it because of the dynamic list?

      	<form method="post" action="sub_cat_menu.php" name="form1" >
      	<select class="formfield" name="item_code" onchange="form1.submit()">
       		<?php echo build_dropdown(); ?>
      	</select>
      	</form>

<select class="formfield" name="item_code" onchange="[red]this.form[/red].submit()">

I've tried it and it submits the other form in the document that's why I specified the form name. I forgot to mention that it is a form within a form. Is that what is causing the problem?

ensure your forms are properly formed. do they have closing tags? make sure they're not nested. does your website pass validation?

short of all that, try

document.forms['YourFormName'].submit();

also, make sure you don't have a field named "submit".
