No reason to go red faced.

Using Javascript you could send the data to a script once a given field or
number of fields contain values. Why on earth you would want to use a form
in this manner is beyond me. Ask in Javascript groups how to.

If you want the form to be interactive (e.g. the form changes
following a certain choice, or a form field has code completion or
hinting) you could have a look at an AJAX solution. This (it's not
a product but a concept) combines javascript, xml and server-side
scripting to modify part of a page in your browser without having to
reload the complete page first)

AJAX is an acronym for Asynchronous Java And XML.
