You can use the "onChange" method of the <SELECT> tag like this:
<SELECT name="one" onChange="javascript:myOnChange();">
<option value="id1">opt1
<option value="id2">opt2
<SELECT>
Than you write your JS function like this:
function myOnChange()
{
var selIndex = document.YourForm.one.selectedIndex;
var selValue = document.YourForm.one.options[selIndex];
//of course you do all this if you need your the value property of
the //<OPTION> element.
document.location.href="$link.setAction("YourAction")?param1="
+selValue;
}

Subject: Action Events triggered by JavaScript
Hi,
I would like to have my Action Event to be triggered by JavaScript in such a
way that I use the JavaScript form.submit() method to achieve this. However,
if I use this method, I don't have any idea how to tell the Javascript
_which_ button should have been pressed (there is no
name="eventSubmit_doSomething" being sent with the form). But this is
essential to the Action Event Structure!
I also don't know how I could add some kind of extra <input> field with the
appropiate information (i.e. ...name="eventSubmit_doSomething").
Does anyone of you have any ideas on this?
thanks,
Martin
PS. What I'm trying to do is: I have 2 <select> boxes where the one is
dependent from the other; if I change one of them, the possible values in
the other <select> box should change. Now I want the first <select> box
trigger the Action Event, which then changes the context variable for the
second <select> box. Until now I have done this with a seperate button
beside the one <select> box, called "apply". This works. However, it would
be nice to handle this automatically, so the user doesn't have to press
"apply" everytime s/he changes the first <select> box...
