Firefox Javascript Issue

efriese · Mar 16, 2006

I'm trying to automatically submit an HTML form with javascript. The code below works fine for IE, but not for Firefox. Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--
document.forms("form1").submit()
//--></SCRIPT>

Could you post a sample code i.e the form that your using aswell, so I could check it, and not just have the javascript, also a link to a demo of it would be nice, might allow people to look into it more.

Here's the code:

Code:

<html>
<form method="post" id="form1" name="form1" action="https://payments.verisign.com/payflowlink">
<input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="Verisign">
<input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="TYPE" value="S">
</form>
	  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
	<!--
	document.forms["form1"].submit()
	//--></SCRIPT>
</html>

I can't really give a link to the site because it is on an intranet right now. Thanks for the help!

document.form1.submit() should work

Yeah, I thought that would work too...but it didn't! Something this simple shouldn't be so difficult.

Did you suppy the whole code ?
When is the auto-submit supposed to trigger ?

If you want to submit the form on page load you would do something like this:

PHP:

<body onload="javascript: document.form1.submit();">

If you want to submit the form when the value of a combo is changed you would need something like this:

PHP:

<select onchange="javascript: document.form1.submit();">

And so on. I'm not sure about what you want to achieve.

At the top of the page is some php code. I want the form to submit after the php code is processed.
