how to pass variable using radio button without submit button

[Cai]

here is my code:

 

<input type="radio" name="SearchIDItem" value="Dept">Department

<input type="radio" name="SearchIDItem" value="CatItem">Category Item

<input type="radio" name="SearchIDItem" value="OfficeSupplies">Office Supplies

 

 

if i click "Department" it will echo a Department same also with other radio button.

 

Thanks a lot.

be more specific.. is the value a static value you want to show? Or is it pulled from a database or what?

[Cai]

it is a static value to query on my database.

 

if i choose Department i will query data on my table Department and pass it on a combobox in html.

Okay, well basically you want to add a click event listener that invokes an AJAX call onclick. The AJAX call should make a request to a controller script that queries your database based on the value and returns results. Then in the AJAX response callback, do something with the results. This is essentially a basic AJAX tutorial scenario, literally thousands of tuts for it out there. Look one up and if you get stuck on something in particular, feel free to post a specific question.
