Is it possible to modify a dropdown menu in a submit form so it automatically submits the name when a dropdown item is selected ... and the Submit button doesn't need to be clicked? Thank, Chris

Submit just the name field? If that the only field on the form or are their other fields and you want to automate a full form submit? You can programmatically trigger a submit using jQuery. I would bind the submit to the change event for the dropdown field. See this: https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/event_submit.asp

replied 2 years ago Sorry, I'm not sure I described it correctly or with enough detail. I have a search form. In the search form is a dropdown menu w/ client names and a submit button. I'd like to remove the submit button and have the search execute when I select a client's name.

replied 2 years ago Yes, I understand exactly what you want to do. The guidance I gave you applies. You have to write custom jQuery to monitor the change event of the dropdown. When a name is selected, use the jQuery to trigger form.submit(). You can hide the submit button with CSS.
