drop down search

[randompunter]

Hi, I'm creating a view and edit page for a content management system. The client wants to select a customer from a dropdown menu and then display the info in textfields. I was wondering(this may be more of a javascript question)
1)if its possible to say something like:
onchange=submit(call script)
in the input tag.

2)Would I be better using javascript(though it has so far proven itself the bane of my existence) for this,seeing as its not for public access, can i easily pass info from php to javascript

3)Would I be better off keeping the menu outside the form (is its own form).

Any input or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
