If you want to do it without submit button, then you need to use javascript,
but this ain't a javascript newsgroup, I think comp.lang.javascript would be
far better group to ask that kind of question.

I prefer to use as little as possible of javascript, as nowadays more and more
users turn that off, which would make the form of yours to fail.
