Better Method - point in the right direction

[gevensen]

i have the html code below that creates an ajax call that works

i can pass the data contained in id="update_<?php echo $bank_data[$i][11]?>" which is basically a field named after a file id which contains a date in date form 2010-01-01 for example to a javascript query using get element by id

this creates a button in the same box below the input field which i have to then click to make the query

is there a way to eliminate the button and for example doubleclick on the textbox to make the query?

 

 

<td width = "75" align = "center" ><input align = "middle" name="date_update" type="text" id="update_<?php echo $bank_data[$i][11]?>" value="<?php echo $bank_data[$i][1]; ?>" />
<button onclick="update_posteddate(<?php echo $bank_data[$i][11]; ?> )">Update Post Date</button>

oops

 

scratch the question

 

i had tried it before and i just tried it again and it works

 

i added the following to the text box and it succesfully passed the data

 

onclick="update_posteddate(<?php echo $bank_data[$i][11]; ?> )"
