Using javascript to replace the "submit" function of a HTML form

    Looking for help with JavaScript - any assistance appreciated.

    I have a pull down box with a list of items to be selected. Next to it is a "Go" button. I want to remove the need to hit the "go" button so the submit for the form happens as soon as the user makes a selection.

    see it here

    I have found examples on the web for going to another page but not replacing the "sumbit" function of a HTML form. I am decent with php but know little about javascript. I realize I cannot do this with php as is not client side so I have to use javascript (or?)

    Your assistance is appreciated!!
