Customizing Auto Submission

Anonymous

#143960

I would like only certain fields to auto-submit and not others. In particular, I would like all fields EXCEPT the “search” field to auto-submit. This very issue was addressed in another resolved topic (#73286 – How can I enable auto submission on only one field?) and the solution proposed was to:

1. Turn off auto-submit
2. Add javascript to submit selected fields using the change() event method

Here is the code suggested in that post:
jQuery(function () {
jQuery(“.YOURSORTSELECT”).on(“change keyup”, function () {
jQuery(“#YOURFORMID”).submit();
});
});

I have not been able to get this code (or minor variations of it) to work as written for select elements. I was able to get similar code to work with checkboxes using the click() event method:

jQuery(“.your-sf-field”).click( function() {
jQuery(“#your-search-filter-form”).submit();
});

Are you using standard select fields or comboboxes, which would then have either Select2 or Chosen style select boxes, so it would have to key off those instead.

The other issue as that you really need to key off a change event, not on click. You might need to scour StackExchange for alternate ideas until you find one that works.
