Hi all. I got in a page a few checkboxes and a dropdown box. I want send the checkbox values and dropdownbox value make a post request automaticaly when i select an item from dropdownbox. Just like the youtube that allow users to copy videos to diffrent playlists. I be happy if some show me how i can make such a post request without clicking a button.Thanks

HTML Code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
     function postForm(){
          var jform = document.getElementById('fpost');
          jform.submit();
     }
</script>
</head>

<form id="fpost" name="fpost" method="POST" action="SOMEPAGE.php">

<select name="copy_to" onChange="javascript:postForm();">
</select>

</form>

Thebig . do you have youtube account ? if you do just go there and try to copy some videos from one of your playlist to another. You will see the page reloads and the url never changes!! I want to achive that task . How it collected checkboxes values and drop downbox value inside same php page?

I want to post checkbox values and drop down box value to the same page not diffrent one. Your above code only post checkbox value to another page and that is not what i want. I already know that !!
