Form Design Question

[effone]

I always think why MyBB includes all those "Go" buttons for form designs (like, say 'language select') when the function is called through:

onchange="functionName();"

Is there any specific reason behind this?

In case Javascript is disabled?

So, what if I just wrap the {$gobutton} in an id

<span id="goBut">{$gobutton}</span>

and hide it through jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">jQuery('#goBut').hide();</script>

So, if javascript is disabled the onChange will not work and at the same time the button hide function will not occur.
Is it right to do? Maintaining good coding standard / practice?

I'm not one to talk about coding standards, as I've probably broken several rules.

But that should work.

The way it's done already is much simpler, and requires less markup.

Alright, thanks Josh and Eric for clarifications

<script type="text/javascript">jQuery('#goBut').hide();</script>

in this code, if javascript is disabled the onChange will not work...

By the way, what is javascript? I'm confused 76 times.

JavaScript is client-side PHP. JQuery is written in JavaScript.
