Question

I am working on my first CakePHP project.

I am building a form on a page and want the form to submit after selecting a option in a <SELECT> atribute

Normally (Not in Cake) I use the option onchange="this.form.submit();"

But for some reason my form in Cake refuses to submit the form.

Can someone help me in this?

Answer 1

check answer here
Javascript select onchange='this.form.submit()'

Why dont you use jquery. its simple
include jquery , give form and select input a id . then use following code

$('#selectElementId').change(
function(){

     $('#formElementId').submit();

});
