Possible to perform action upon page opening?

RebLazer · Oct 30, 2002

I am trying to write some code that would page a person's beeper. Below is code that works - but the user has to click the button in order to submit it. (The beeper number appears in green and the numeric message to be displayed to the beeper appears in blue.)

[tt]<table>
<form action="

http://www.smartbeep.com/cgi-bin/sendpagen.cgi"

method="POST" name="SendNumericPage"><input type="hidden" name="SbId" value="7638293659">
<input type="hidden" name="SbMsg" value="123456789"><input type="submit" name="sendit" value="Click here to send page">
</form>
</table>[/tt]

Is it possible to remove the submit button altogether and have the beep be sent automatically upon opening of this HTML page?

Thanks,

Could use the onLoad event;

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="javascript:document.yourFormID.submit();">
<table>
<form id="yourFormID" action="

http://www.smartbeep.com/cgi-bin/sendpagen.cgi"

method="POST">
</form>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML> "did you just say Minkey?, yes that's what I said."
