Thanks for the reply. ( Am replying back after a long time, sorry about that )

Here is what am trying to achieve.

Using a "submit" button, everything works correctly. But I would like to achieve the same just by clicking any of the options in "pop_up" menu using a java script.

I tried several other forms as posted above but I could not get none of them to work for my case ( I know I missed something very badly )

Could you please help me with that ?

This is just a quick code that I wrote to demonstrate what am trying to do and what is the problem in doing so. There are so many mistakes that are unrelated to the post, please ignore them.

Thanks for the reply again in advance Smilie

Code:
#! /opt/third-party/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use CGI qw/:standard *table/;

my $cgi = CGI->new();

print $cgi->header('text/html');

sub generateHeader {
  print $cgi->start_html(-title=>'Sample Test');
  print $cgi->h3({-align=>'center'}, 'Sample Test Display');
  print $cgi->start_form(-method => 'GET',
                         -name => 'main_form',
                         -action => 'test.cgi',
                         -enctype => 'multipart/form-data');
}

sub submitButtonGenerator {
  my $button_name = shift;
  print $cgi->submit(-value=>$button_name);
}

sub generateFooter {
  my ($i, $tmp);

  print $cgi->end_form();
  print $cgi->hr();

  print $cgi->end_html();
}

sub display {
 my @arr = ('IceCream', 'Choco', 'Biscuit', 'Fruits');
 my $edible_arr = \@arr;

 print $cgi->popup_menu(-name=>'edible',
                         -values=>$edible_arr);

}

sub displayResult {
  print $cgi->param("edible") . $cgi->br();
}

generateHeader;
display;
print $cgi->br();
print $cgi->br();
submitButtonGenerator("Go");
displayResult;
generateFooter;

exit(0);
