Question

what I want to do, this I have a drop down box that lets my admin users rate pictures G rated and X rated. once they have selected this option I would like the form to be submitted.

I thought it would be as easy as sending the form ID, but seems not.

this is the only thing the user needs to do in the form.

the html form looks like this

<form id="photo1">
<input id="1" name="pictureid" hidden /> 
<select name="phototype">
 <option value="G">G Rated</option>
 <option value="X">X Rated</option>
</select>
</form>

Answer 1

If you want to submit the form when the onchange event is fired, this is the code:

$('#photo1 select').change(function () {
        $("#photo1").submit();
    });
