Call a function from a URL?

Yerdon · Jul 7, 2008

Hi everyone,

Do you know if it is possible to call a Javascript function from a browser URL?

There is a page which I'd like to call and automatically press a submit button after entering a value.

In other words, instead of going to

http://www.test.com/test.asp,

entering "hi" and pressing submit. I would like to just have this link:

http://www.test.com/test.asp;javascript:callfunction('Hi')

Is there any way of doing that?

Thanks!

Joseph

have you used the body onload() function?
so the page test.asp would look like:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
window.status="Page is loaded";
}
</script>
</head><body onload="load()">
</body></html>

It is not my webpage - I cannot edit the code. It is an external website that I want to link to.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Is it possible?

Thank you!

Joseph
