Hey Scott
I would recommend that you do use a library such as JQuery, it will take
away all of the fiddly browser concerns.
If they are yes no options, would a check box or radio buttons  be more
suitable?
Anyway...
You can do something like:

$('checkbox / radio  option selectors here').bind('click', function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: url/to/yourDBUpdatepage.cfm,
        data: {checked state of this control}

    });
);

all the goodness is here
