JavaScript

Misticles

Can someone tell me what the following commands do:

function autoSubmit()
formObject.submit()
onChange

I cant seem to find a decent explanation on the net.

autoSubmit() sounds like a custom function. Form.submit()... Hmmm, what could that be? javascript form submit action maybe?

onChange is an event.

As per hobbes post, u probably need to start at the start my good man...

function autoSubmit()

The correct way to declare a function called autoSubmit. It's just missing curly braces:

function autoSubmit() {

}

It also uses javascript convention properly too where the function name should begin with a lower case letter and only objects should begin with a capital letter.

formObject.submit()

Assuming formObject is a correct reference to a form element on a page this will submit the form.

onChange

An event commonly associated with an input field which occurs when a user changes the contents of the input. Most proper implementations would not use the capital C. e.g.

var firstname = document.getElementById("firstname");
firstname.onchange = function() {
window.status = "name changing!";
};
