[FX.php List] [OFF] Submitting a POST automatically

[Bob Patin]

Andrew,

Thanks for the response; once I thought more about it, I realized the  
solution: I just put this in the BODY tag:

onload="javascript:form2.submit();"

and it submits the form after the PHP processes, which is exactly what  
I was needing to do.

Best,

Bob Patin
