TextField to post form

[Tim Hooper <Th...@woh.rr.com>]

In my application I want to post the form when a textbox contained within the 
form is changed, rather than forcing the user to click the submit button.  I 
tried setting an action listener on the TextBox, but that doesn't seem to fire 
unless the user hits enter.  I've also tried setting an attribute as follows:

description.setAttribute("onChange","this.form.submit();");

but that doesn't work either.  Is this something that I can make happen with 
this framework?

Thanks.

Try this:

description.setAttribute("onChange","document.getElementById(\"" + form.getId() + "\").submit()");

Also look at the generated HTML to see if there is anything missing in it. I also highly recommend Firebug for debugging javascript stuff like this.
