Hello,

You can use the form.submit() function when the value is changed.

Now if you want to search or auto-complete a text value, you may want to
take a look at this forms generation and validation class that comes
with a plug-in exactly for that. Here is an example script in action:

The class and this and other pĺug-ins are available here:

Here you can watch tutorial video on this subject:
