Problems with JavaScript submit()

[Xeon]

Ok, the subject seemed not PHP related, but it does, as the submitted
form will be read/processed by PHP.

I have this HTML code:

<form method="post" action="foo.php ">
<select name="blah" onChange="javas cript:submit(); ">
<option selected value="1">opt1</option>
<option value="2">opt2</option>
<option value="3">opt3</option>
<option value="4">opt4</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="sub1" value="Submit 1">
<input type="submit" name="sub2" value="Submit 2">
<input type="submit" name="sub3" value="Submit 3">
</form>

Now, if there is a change on the drop-list, the form is submitted, but
the value read on the submitted form won't change from the previous
value. Say, if the previous value of the drop-list is 'opt1', then I
change it to 'opt3'. The form is submitted, but the the submitted
value is still 'opt1'. So how do I rectify this? This behaviour won't
occur when the form is submitted by clicking any of the submit
buttons(Submit 1, 2, 3).

Any help appreciated
TIA

PHP will process whatever values are sent to it. If your javascript is
not sending the right values then this is a javascript problem.
