[SOLVED] Basic select onchange submit not working

[webent]

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out with this problem, I always use this code, so I don't understand why it has just stopped working... Here's just a basic example of what isn't working...

 

<form method="POST" name="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange=form1.submit()>
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</form>

 

I get this "Error on page" and when I expand it, I see this "Error: 'form1' is undefined"

 

Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

<form method="POST" name="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange="this.parentNode.parentNode.submit();">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</form>

<form method="POST" name="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange="this.parentNode.parentNode.submit();">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</form>

 

That gives me this error...

Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

<form method="POST" name="form1" id="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange="document.getElementById('form1').submit();">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</form>

<form method="POST" name="form1" id="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange="document.getElementById('form1').submit();">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select>
</form>

 

Same error as the last one DarkWater... Crazy huh?

have you tried just submit()

[Ken2k7]

<form method="POST" name="form1" action="index.php">
<p><select size="4" name="Dropdown1" onchange="document.forms.form1.submit();">
<option value="Option1">Option1</option>
<option value="Option2">Option2</option>
<option value="Option3">Option3</option>
</select></p>
</form>

The second method that Dark Water gave should have worked. It was correct. Go back and check to make sure you were editing the correct file etc.

@haku Yes, I double checked it, put in a change and it showed up...

 

@everyone else The codes work if I just put them in a plain test page by itself.

[haku]

If that works when isolated by itself on a page, but not when inserted in a page with other stuff, it means that you have an error somewhere else in the code on your page that is causing the form not to submit. Dark Water's 2nd solution was correct, so use that and then try to figure out where in your page the error lies.

You got it... I downloaded firefox to see if it was an ie7 problem, but it didn't work with it either... Trying to find the error is like finding a needle in a haystack, I can't imagine what would cause it to throw the error, but I'll keep looking...

 

Here's the site in case anybody wants to take a look, meanwhile I'll keep trying.

Got it working, thanks everyone for your help... It was my own stupid fault, I left off the ending form tag from the search box directly before the manufacturer box...
