How to get form to submit???

G

Greg Scharlemann

I have some php code to handle the following form is submitted, but
because there are two places the form submits I get an error. If the
drop down changes, the php code will grow the number of city/state
combinations, if the button is clicked the data is added to the
database. Perhaps there is a better way to grow the number of
city/state combinations while still retaining any text previously typed
into the input boxes?

Thanks for your help!

An error? WHAT error?
<table border="0">
<form method="post" action="test.php">

Your HTML is invalid. http://validator.w3.org/
<select name="showCity" onchange="submit()" >
Click to expand...

window.submit() is undefined by default, and you don't define it in
your code.

Possibly you want to call it as a method of a form element?

what does do here this form tag outside regular way of html flux ?
<form method="post" action="test.php">
Click to expand...
<tr>
<td colspan="4">Define up to 50 City/State
combinations.<br/><br/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">Insert
<select name="showCity" onchange="submit()" >
Click to expand...

onchange="this.form.submit()"

onchange="submit.click();"
(it would have been much more better to haven't named your submit-button
'submit' ... ! )
<option selected value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option> .../...
<option value="50">50</option>
</select> Cities:<br/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City:</td>
<td>&nbsp;<input type="text" name="city0" size="20" value=""
maxlength="100" /></td>
Click to expand...

why with an align=right do you need those spaces ?
