use client side code to trigger the load of page must use GET Protocol?

The following code is the drop down box, and when user changes the
selection, it will display the value of the selection automatically by the
onchange event. This code works fine with GET Protocol.

<html>
<body>
<form name="eventform" action="eventtest3.asp" method="GET">
<select name="id" onchange="location.href='eventtest3.asp?id='+this.value">
<option value="select">select</option>
<option value="1001">1001</option>
<option value="1002">1002</option>
<option value="1003">1003</option>
</select>
<%= Request.Querystring("id") %>
</form>
</body>
</html>

However, if I use POST protocol, it doesn't work anymore.

<html>
<body>
<form name="eventform" action="eventtest4.asp" method="POST">
<select name="id" onchange="location.href='eventtest4.asp'">
<option value="select">select</option>
<option value="1001">1001</option>
<option value="1002">1002</option>
<option value="1003">1003</option>
</select>
<%= Request.Form("id") %>
</form>
</body>
</html>

My question is: do we need to use GET protocol to trigger the reload of the
page?? Can I use POST protocol to accomplish the same task??


Please advise. Thanks!

Even with the GET protocol ... you are not submitting the form in
either example.

You are not getting the GET one because of submission, you are getting
it because it is in the link ... that's all ... the form is not doing
anything.

what you want to do in EACH form is have ....

<select name="id" onchange="document.eventform.submit()">

placing this line in each sample should make both of them work. The
querystring for the first will be built by the form submission.
