Automatically Submitting a Form (not onLoad)

[nialley]

Hey guys,

I am trying to find a way to submit a form automatically using javascript. This is what I thought would work but it doesn't seem to submit. This page fits into a header and footer template so this page would no access to the body tag.

---

<form name="hidden_form" action="search.results_chemicals" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="p_query" value="select * from chemicals">
</form>
<SCRIPT>
document.forms['hidden_form'].submit();
</SCRIPT>

---

Any help would be really appreciated,
Niall

The action is supposed to be the name of the page that the form is submitted to, but yours doesn't appear to have an of the standard .htm(l), .php, .asp, .pl, .cfm extensions. What is the name of the page with the script that processes this information?

You don't have a type declaration for your script. Change this:

<SCRIPT>

to this:

<script type="text/javascript">

Hope this helps,
Dan
