[FX.php List] Re: Execute submit button when arriving to a page?

Sun Aug 13 05:35:42 MDT 2006

Hi Jonatham

If you just want to submit a form, when entering the page, a small piece of
JavaScriot will do it:

"<body onLoad="document.forms[0].submit()">"

I use this to send the user to another page with some required data in
hidden fields in the form.
