Submitting Forms Automatically - HTML Forums

Hello, I have some hidden forms that store variables about my users but rather than have them press a submit button... is it possible for this to happen automatically when the page loads?

Hi Lancaster,

Try this example, it uses google to test the submission

Code:

<body onload="setInterval('document.forms[0].submit()',5000)">

<div>There is a hidden form on this page it will submit to google.com after 5 seconds.</div>

<form action="http://www.google.com" method="get">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="blah">
<div>
</form>

</body>
