[SOLVED] page re-fresh after input

[Yammyguy]

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if there's a way to submit the form information without needing to click the submit button.  For example, I would like the page to re-load with the values as soon as someone's clicked a radio button, or selected the option from the drop down list.

 

I would like to have that feature available in order to determine which options to display based on the user input.

 

If you need some more information, or if anything's not clear, please let me know - and I'll try to elaborate.

Thanks very much in advance!

Yes you can do this, via AJAX

Heres a basic idea from a dropdown list

Dynamic DropDown PHP/AJAX

 

I hope it helps

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for. Instead of having a bunch of radio buttons or a dropdown list and a submit button. I just want some radio buttons and once the button is selected the page refreshes with some new form elements based on the previous selection.  After looking around, it seems it's only doable with javascript with the "OnClick" value. And I can't stand javascript.

If you don't want a re-load then yes your need some client side code (i.e. JS)

 

if you don't mind a page reload then you can use onclick to submit the form (or trigger a ajax routine)

onclick="javascript:form.submit()"

Thanks!  Obviously that's a js function, what would the function code be?  I'm sorry, I can't figure out JS to save my life..

submit() is the method of a form object.

 

 

For example, if you had:

 

<form name="some_form" id="some_form_id">

 

You could do:

 

document.forms.some_form.submit();

 

or

 

document.getElementById('some_form_id').submit();

 

to submit the form.

Thank you very much for clearing this up.  I've now got exactly what it is I wanted to get done.

 

Again, you've all been a great help!
