Auto-submit dropdown menu (See related posts)

Many users assume that a <select> element (dropdown menu)
will have its effect without pressing submit button.
(poor user...). The solution is to have it submit automatically.
<select name='myfield' onchange='this.form.submit()'>
<option .... >
...
</select>
</form>

Simply onchange='this.form.submit()'

Remember to add a submit button for those who don't have javascript:
...
<noscript><input type="submit" value="Submit"></noscript>
</form>
