Everything to do with forms is either to do with hitting a submit button
(call to a server) or without (which means that the browser/client is
handling it), so anything you want to do (like auto-submits, dynamic
pop-ups, etc etc) is done via the browser -- Javascript would be the
obvious one.

I Suggest looking at onChange and onBlur attributes of  elements
for more info.


As per usual, you'll probably be able to learn quite a bit by looking at
the HTML/JavaScript source code of a page that already does it.


It's not really PHP related, try to think of it as a HTML / browser /
client side issue.  Also, be aware that you shoudl still prolly include
a submit button, so that people with stone age browsers, or worse still,
javascript turned off, can still submit the form and use your site.


I saw an e-commerce site once that ignored this basic little rule, thus
preventing sales to those without javascript.  I don't think any online
store is doing well enough yet to start excluding customers :)

Javascript.  Use onBlur or onChange and call document.formname.submit().
