Hello.

You can probably achieve this with JavaScript.

I'm no hotshot with JavaScript but this is from another forum I found:

<form method="post"> 
<input type="radio" id="r_action" name="r_action" value="r_action" onClick="this.form.action='your_script.php';this.form.submit()"> 
</form> 

(I'm not sure if I can link to the forum)

In your_script.php file you collect the data from post variable and send it to the database.

Hi Madhu,

This sounds like a perfect place to use Ajax. This allows you to communicate asynchronously with the backend of your system with out using a whole page HTTP POST.

There's loads of online literature about this and our Javascript forum is a great place to ask questions.
