I need to be able to submit a form when a page loads without having the user click the submit button is this possible?

In other words I need to simulate the pushing of the submit button. I cannot just redirect unless it submits the form.

Thanks in Advance

<form name="f" action="page2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="5" name="step">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Why would you need this?

I was going to suggest a meta refresh with an address that has default values in a GET format... This would have the same effect, but it would use GET instead of submit. The upside, no JavaScript required.

There is also a downside with this method though as Meta Refresh can be disabled in the browser.

Hope this helps
