in reply to JScript event handles and CGI.pm dropdown menus

The -onChange parameter only sets up the drop-down to call a JavaScript method, it doesn't write the method for you. You will want -onChange=>'mySubmit()' as a parameter, and have the CGI emit a JavaScript at the beginning of the document. Assuming that you assign name="theForm" in the form tag, the JavaScript might be something like:
function mySubmit() { document.theForm.submit() }
