Submit Update Form Using onblur

[Zergman]

I'm making a simple page by request from my boss.

 

The page has 1 textarea.  What he wants is when he types something in the textarea for it to save when the page looses focus. .... kinda like an auto save function.

 

I've been trying to do this using a simple form and submitting it via javascript but its not saving to the database.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
  document.form1.submit();
}
</script> 

 

<form method="post" name="form1" id="form1" action="entry.php">
<textarea name="data_entry" id="data_entry" class="textareastyle" cols="150" rows="24" onblur="submitform();"><?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rsePad['data']); ?></textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="tdate" id="tdate" value="<?php echo(date('Y-m-d'))?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ttime" id="ttime" value="<?php echo(date('H:i:s'))?>" />
</form>

 

The form submits, but its not being written to the database.  Kinda like the page is just being refreshed.  If I add a submit button, it works but only if the button is clicked.

 

Suggestions?

Sounds like it might be a problem in entry.php.  Post that code and let's take a look

actually its on the same page as the form.  Trying to keep this as simple as possible lol.

 

$upd_ePad = new tNG_update($conn_cnepix);
$tNGs->addTransaction($upd_ePad);

$upd_ePad->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Update1");

$upd_ePad->setTable("Pad_data");
$upd_ePad->addColumn("tdate", "DATE_TYPE", "POST", "tdate");
$upd_ePad->addColumn("ttime", "DATE_TYPE", "POST", "ttime");
$upd_ePad->addColumn("data", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "data_entry");
$upd_ePad->setPrimaryKey("user_name", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "logged_in_user");

$tNGs->executeTransactions();

$rsePad = $tNGs->getRecordset("Pad_data");
$row_rsePad = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsePad);
$totalRows_rsePad = mysql_num_rows($rsePad);
