automate login with javascript

[PavelGur]

I'm trying to automate login to one of the sites I'm involved in. I found the example here in one of the previous threats and followed the advices.
First I saved the login page and entered values of id and password. Then I added after login form the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("LoginForm").submit();
</script>

Now when I load the page from my C drive it appears with ID and Password on the screen. However the page is not submitted and "log in" button is disabled. Even if I click on it or press Enter key nothing happens.

I looked in the page code and found the following related to the log in button:

<TD vAlign=bottom align=left><INPUT language=javascript class=submitbutton id=btnLogin onclick="if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') Page_ClientValidate(); " type=submit value="Log In" name=btnLogin></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD>

There is Page_ClientValidate function in the directory subordinate to the directory where page is saved. It looks like this:
function Page_ClientValidate() {
var i;
for (i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
ValidatorValidate(Page_Validators);
}
ValidatorUpdateIsValid();
ValidationSummaryOnSubmit();
Page_BlockSubmit = !Page_IsValid;
return Page_IsValid;
}
This function calls few other functions that are there as well.
I'm not sure what I should do to force page to be submitted. Should I try to disable the validatin functions?
Thanks in advance, PavelGur.
