I would like to just say that I thought it would work as:
$("#myform).submit();
inside the onchange event, but it would never submit the form.
Using
$("#myform)[0].submit();
worked immediately.
Thanks again for your help!

Though,

Your code may have worked under certain circumstances. jQuery.submit()
triggers any handlers that were attached via
jQuery.submit(someFunction). If in the function someFunction the form
gets submitted than it's going to work out.
But this may change in the future. I think, John filed a bug, that
jQuery.submit() should also call the built-in FormElement.submit()
method if available.
Not quite sure if I'm mixing up two different things here. At least
there was another thread regarding this topic.
If that has changed I really would have to know - it would have quite an
impact on my project. John?
