Question

How would I submit a form when the user clicks an option using jQuery? I found one similar question using the datepicker text input but I’m not that familiar with jQuery so I can’t seem to convert it to work for a select item.

Answer 1

On click of an <option>:

$('option').click(function ()
{
    $(this).closest('form').submit();
});

On change of a <select> (this is probably the one you want):

$('select').change(function ()
{
    $(this).closest('form').submit();
});

As @Guffa commented:

The click event on options doesn’t work in all browsers. Safari for example does’t trigger it.

…so you definitely want the second one.
