auto-submission of form

[freddydoesphp]

I have used this method a thousand times before to auto-submit a form, for some reason I cannot get it to work this time, anyone have any idea why?

<form action="/ufi/hs~hosting_order.php" method="POST" name="theform">
<tr valign="top">
	<td width="200" align="right"><span class="bodytext"><b>Selected Hosting Plan:</b></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
	<td width="250"><select name="plan" class="ordernb" onChange="document.theform.submit(); ">
<option value="1" selected>Shared Hosting - Plan A &nbsp; - 11.95
<option value="2">Shared Hosting - Plan B &nbsp; - 19.95
<option value="3">Shared Hosting - Plan C &nbsp; - 29.95
<option value="4">Shared Hosting - Plan D &nbsp; - 49.95
<option value="5">Shared Hosting - Plan E &nbsp; - 99.95
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</form>

it looks ok to me, the only thing that I would change is:

onChange="document.theform.submit(); "

to
onChange="document.theform.submit(); return 0;"

other than that I cant think of anything else

Whats even weirder

<tr valign="top">
	<td width="200" align="right"><span class="bodytext"><b>Selected Hosting Plan:</b></span>  </td>
	<td width="250"><form action="/ufi/hs~hosting_order.php" method="POST" name="theform"><select name="plan" class="ordernb" onChange="document.theform.submit(); ">
<option value="1" selected>Shared Hosting - Plan A   - 11.95
<option value="2">Shared Hosting - Plan B   - 19.95
<option value="3">Shared Hosting - Plan C   - 29.95
<option value="4">Shared Hosting - Plan D   - 49.95
<option value="5">Shared Hosting - Plan E   - 99.95
</select>
</form>
</td>
</tr>

works fine, but that is not an option as the rest of the form needs to be sent as well not just the one drop down.

not that it'll help but you should get into the habit of closing your option tags since it's xhtml compatible and really the way you're supposed to do it now.

Hey freddy, et all,

The code looks fine to me and when tested, it works. My bet is its something else in the document that's confusing it...

it is just too weird, I can't figure it out, I mean there is only one form on the page.

Yeah, the code you posted worked fine here too. There must be something else in the page causing the error. Post the rest of the code if you can and maybe we can narrow it down from there.

I finally figured it out, if you have a submit button named "submit" you cannot auto submit forms with javascript.
