onload settimer

marianmarian · Nov 8, 2004

hi all,

i am doing a transaction processsing; my code is in php, javascript, and of course html;

once my customers click to place an order i sent them to a page called process.html telling them their transaction is being processed; this is just a an html page with lots of hidden form elements; and this process.html has a
<body onload=setTimeout("location.href='submit.php'",'5000');> which should redirect to submit.php after certain time, and save users transaction by using all the hidden form elements.

the problem i am having is since there is no submit button in process.html i am finding it hard to submit the hidden form values, is there a way that i can do this so that my page redirect can send the form values at the same time.

thanks for all your responses

<body onload=setTimeout("submit()",'5000');>
<form action='submit.php'>
<hidden variables here>
</form>
</body>

Although you might want to specify the form to submit, and you might want to get rid of the quotes around the 5000.

Code:

<body onload=setTimeout("document.forms['f'].submit()", 5000);>
<form name="f" action='submit.php'>
<hidden variables here>
</form>
</body>

thanks for all your responses, but i am getting error that "document doesn't support this property or method", i am using IE 6.0.

<body onload=setTimeout("document.forms['form_values'].submit()",5000);>

Ahh,

This worked for me (with the form named "f"):

Code:

<body onload="setTimeout('document.f.submit()', 5000);">
