in reply to cgi popup_menu when radio is selected

Is there some reason you don't want to use JavaScript? If you don't use JS, then probably your only other option is AJAX. You might have a look at CGI::Ajax or some of the other Ajax modules on CPAN if that doesn't fit the bill.

    Just an opposite. I have nothing against js. If it's not too complicated for you may I ask you at least roughly to show how to use it for this case.

      As ww said, you need to read up on JavaScript, but the basic would be to trigger an event when you check that radio button and use a JavaScript command to open a new window - assuming that's what you're after and proceed from there.

      I think to achieve what you seem to be after that you're better off looking to Ajax as opposed to JavaScript because there are toolkits that I believe that will do that very quickly and then it's just a matter of gluing the code together with the requisite Perl modules. I'd suggest looking at the Dojo toolkit or script.aculo.us toolkit.

      Good luck!

      As someone else recently (and wisely) observed,
      "Drop a coin in the COC (Crank Out Code) machine."
      Or, on your own, read up on js and or the modules suggested above.
