Hello,
how do I send information to a php page from a menu list?

When a user selects an item from the list I would like to be able to =
send "selcategoryid" to faqbycat.php without the use of a submit button.

Is it done by using the onChange event? if so how may this be done?

The code I am using presently is below

    <form action=3D"faqbycat.php">
     <select name=3D"selcategoryid" value=3D"0">
      <option name=3D"selcategoryid" value=3D"0" selected>Select a =
Category</option>
       <?php
       //display list of provider names
        while ($myrowcating=3DMySQL_fetch_array($resultcatdet))
         {
          $faqcatsid=3Dstripslashes($myrowcating["breastfaqcatid"]);   =20
          $faqcats=3Dstripslashes($myrowcating["breastfaqcat"]);
          echo "<option name=3D\"selcategoryid\" =
value=3D\"$faqcatsid\">$faqcats</option>";
         }//while =
($myrowadmintitles=3DMySQL_fetch_array($admintilteresult))
       ?>    =20
     </select>
     <br><br>
     <input type=3D"Submit" name=3D"selbycat" value=3D"Show FAQ's by =
Category">
    </form> =20

Thanks for your answer,
Ivan
