Is there anyway to automatically submit a form using Javascript?

Question

Hi, everybody.

I am looking for a way to automatically submit a form, so that when a user clicks a link, it goes to an external page and the embedded script will automatically submit a hidden HTML form. Preferably, I would like this done with Javascript, but my server does support server-side scripting languages.

So if there is a PHP or Perl alternative, please post it.

If you were wondering, I want to make a MySpace (yes, ANOTHER question about MySpace) auto-bulletin script so that when it submits it, it will automatically post another bulletin.

If anybody needs the URL to the HTML of the form, please ask.

Here is the form I want:

post text<a>

PHP, Perl, and Javascript are supported. Thanks.

Answer 1

Javascript is client side scripting so you do not have to worry about your server support.
The command you are looking for is
document.formName.submit();

But you may want to have a way of controlling the number of times that the form is sent. Or perhaps you don't care.
