How to invoke Play framework Action from OnChange

Question

I am newbie to Play Framework with Scala environment.I would like to invoke Controller Action method from @select()~dropdown OnChange.

How I invoke from Button

<a href="@routes.Application.cancel()"><span>Cancel</span></a>

What I actually need

I need to invoke my Action from drop down OnChange method.please help me to accomplish this task.

Edit

@select(
   userMapForm("department"),
   DepartmentList,//set values from DB
   '_default -> "-- Select Department --",
    'onChange->"//invoke Action from here"
                        )

Please show us some code! In general you'd do it like you used the route `@routes.Application.cancel()` in your link/button. — Kris, Oct 06 '15 at 14:49
I need to invoke `Action` for example `@routes.Application.cancel()` in Drop down `OnChange` like how we invoked that action from `` tag — Jamal, Oct 06 '15 at 14:56
It looks like there is a very similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15552218/using-the-playframework-scala-select-template-onchange-event. Does it help? — Kris, Oct 06 '15 at 15:25

You can to do this with trivial javascript.

@select(
   userMapForm("department"),
   DepartmentList,//set values from DB
   '_default -> "-- Select Department --")


<script>
  document.getElementById("department").addEventListener("change", funciton(){
    location.replace("@routes.Application.cancel()");
  });
</script>

You could use jQuery to simplify it (or other javascript framework)
