rated 0 times [ 35] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 155925 / 11 Years ago, sat, january 11, 2014, 12:00:00

I need the button with the ID of clickButton to be automatically clicked or activated just by someone loading the page:

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<center>

<form method=post  action=http://web.com/>

<input type='hidden' value=test id=chatbox name='content' />



<!-- The Button -->

<input id=submitButton class=button name=accept type=submit value=Send/>



</form>

</center>

</body>

</html>

What I have tried:

<html>

<head>

<script type=text/javascript>



//In here I would use several Javascript codes, 

//including all the ones I have been given 

//here



</script>





</head>

<body>

<center>

<form method=post  action=http://web.com/>

<input type='hidden' value=test id=chatbox name='content' />



<!-- The Button -->

<input id=submitButton class=button name=accept type=submit value=Send/>



</form>

</center>

</body>

</html>

Also if I wanted a javascript code to repeat it self, what command would I use?

Thank you for your help in advance.

I see what you really want to auto submit the form. This would do it:

window.onload = function(){

    var button = document.getElementById('clickButton');

    button.form.submit();

}

EDIT
If what you want is really auto submit the form automatically n times, each second, whis would do:

window.onload = function(){

  var button = document.getElementById('clickButton'),

    form = button.form;



  form.addEventListener('submit', function(){

    return false;

  })



  var times = 100;   //Here put the number of times you want to auto submit

  (function submit(){

    if(times == 0) return;

    form.submit();

    times--;

    setTimeout(submit, 1000);   //Each second

  })(); 

}

Cheers
