Submitting Form WITHOUT Submit Button

Kathleen Whitma #1 / 4	Submitting Form WITHOUT Submit Button Hello Everyone, I am trying to incude code in my ASP that will automatically submit a form's contents to another Active Server Page, as I do not want to depend on the user to hit the "submit" button. I know this can be done, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I would appreciate any help you can provide me, as I am working under a deadline and am very frustrated! Thanks in advance. Kathleen

Try OnUnLoad of BODY. Use a JavaScript function like OnUnLoad='document.myform.submit()'. Erich

Kathleen Whitma #3 / 4	Submitting Form WITHOUT Submit Button Hi Erich, Thanks for the suggestion. It did not work entirely, so I am hoping that you might be able to share some more ideas. Here's what I am trying to do: I have a form into which users type the type of report that they want to run and the dates that it should cover. When the user hits the submit button on this form, a SQL stored procedure executes and populates a form on a second asp page. I do not want this second asp page to ever be visible for the user. I have this page because the stored procedure does not return its results in a manner that is conducive to the report format that the user ultimately wants to see. So, ideally, I want this second asp page to submit its form results to a third asp page which will then lay out the report as needed. Thus, I want the stored procedure to execute, the form to populate and for the form to then be submitted to the the third page. When I tried the body onunload approach, I found that the report lacked complete information because the form results were submitted prior to the form being populated in its entirety. (I know that the stored procedure is capable of populating the form in its entirety because if I use a submit button on the second page, the third page does receive all of the data needed for the report.) Do you have any other ideas? Is there any way for me to delay the submission of the form by a few seconds? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Chris Snide #4 / 4	Submitting Form WITHOUT Submit Button Actually there is at least two ways to accomplish what you are trying: You can outout the results of the stored procedure to a session variable, then redirect to the actual report processing ASP page. that page will then read the session variable instead of form POST fields. to continue doing it the way you have already designed; Add the following code (sub your form name etc) inside you <head></head> element <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript> <!-- function window_onload() { frmName.submit() Quote: } --> </SCRIPT> Change your <body. tag to the following <BODY LANGUAGE=javascript onload="return window_onload()"> Quote: > Hi Erich, > Thanks for the suggestion.
