Submit form without a function and not onload in body

ralphiooo · Mar 3, 2006

Hi, I was wondering how to submit a form called frmPost in the body part of the code and not in a function so it auto submits when you go to the page. I know it sounds a pretty stupid scenario but I really need to do it this way. Appreciate the help. Thanks

Code:

<body onload="document.forms['frmPost'].submit();">

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hi, i don't want it in the body tag, I want it within. I tried something like:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
document.forms['fmrPost'].submit();
</script>

but it did not work. Cheers anywayz.

Sorry - you simply said not in a function, so I assumed that would be fine.

What you've shown will only work after the form is loaded. Maybe put it right at the end of the page, right before the closing body tag?

Of course - you also need to ensure you have no form elements named "submit" - they would stop the submission working.
