Accessibility Issue:



Normally checkbox is clubbed with label "for" attribute.



How to inform user onclick of checkbox the page is refreshed.



This kind of feature normally we see in the filter's. For example in
amazon, ebay etc. Onclick of any filter options page is refreshed but
the disabled user is not informed in adavance regarding the same.



Example Code:

<fieldset>

<legend>Hobbies</legend>

<ul>

<li>

<input type="checkbox" onclick="http://......com"
title="On Select of cricket page will refresh" id="txt_cricket"/>

<label for="txt_cricket">Cricket</label>

</li>

</ul>

</fieldset>



Solution:

1) Normally one solution is to provide button, user will filter the
options and then click on search but here comes the usability issues for
normal peoples.



Please let me know the best Accessibility solution towards the same.
