Question

Can we make the radio button to act as like a submit button? i.e,. Is it possible to pass the control from one page of JSP or HTML to another page by the onClick or anyother events of radio button like the submit button?

Answer 1

From inside any HTML DOM event handler of any HTML input element in a HTML form, the parent HTML form element is accessible via the HTML input element’s form property. The HTML form element has in turn a submit() function which triggers the submit.

So, this should do:

<form ...>
    <input type="radio" ... onclick="this.form.submit()" />
    ...
</form>

The this refers the current HTML input element.

The following shorthands are also valid:

<form ...>
    <input type="radio" ... onclick="form.submit()" />
    ...
</form>

<form ...>
    <input type="radio" ... onclick="submit()" />
    ...
</form>

But they may interfere if you’ve for some reason manually created a JS variable form or a JS function submit() in the global scope.

Note that this all is basic HTML/JS and have in essence nothing to do with JSP. JSP is merely a HTML (and CSS/JS) code producer.
