Re^2: Cgi and Perl : how to use data once people selects the checkbox field?

Minor nit - IIRC form.submit() is a short-hand for document.form.submit(); and will only work if you only have one form on the whole page. It's probably better to use something like:

<select onchange='this.form.submit();'>
<option value=1>trival example</option>
</select>

Which should always submit the form associated with the selectbox.

Just make multiple forms. The code above should work with that, in that selecting from the selectbox will submit the form it is in, and you can have multiple select boxes in different forms, if you want to. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
