Ajax Toolbox - using onchange event

[itp]

I have moved to Matt Kruse's Javascript Toolbox. It has some great
examples to get you going quickly!

Unfortunately all the examples are based on a form/submit model. I
would like to try using the onchange event ot submit a request. Has
anyone tried this and could maybe provide an example?

What kind of example would you like?

Most of the examples aren't actually based on form submittal. They just use
form buttons to trigger code. You could trigger the same code via an
element's onchange event.

Hi Matt:

I would like to reproduce this page using your toolbox.

I realize that the submit button only triggers a script, however the
<form action=program_name is used to determine what program to run. I
cannot figure out how to do this using an onchange.

By the way your stuff is great!!!

OK. I am making progress. I can now trigger the form from an onblur
event, however my XMLHttpRequest is showing up in a new browser
instance.

code extract..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<form name="form2" action="/mycgilibp/AJAX43.pgm"
method="post" target="_blank" onSubmit="submitForm(this);return
false;">

<script type="text/javascript">

function submitForm(theform) {
var status = AjaxRequest.submit(theform,
//alert("hello");
{
'onSuccess':function(req){
document.forms['form2'].submitResults.value = req.responseText; }
}
);
return status;
}</script>

value1
<INPUT TYPE="text"
value="Tabbing out of this text box should trigger a submit and
display values below. "
NAME="value1" size="80"
maxlength="80"
target="_blank"
onBlur= "document.form2.submit()">
