Q956 How can I submit a form 10 seconds after the page has loaded?

You are here: irt.org | FAQ | JavaScript | Form | 7.3 | Q956 [ previous next ]

Use something like:

<form name="myForm">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

setTimeout('document.myForm.submit()',10000);
//--></script>

If however the action is a mailto: then:

<form name="myForm" action="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">
<input type="submit" name="mySubmit">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

setTimeout('document.myForm.mySubmit.click()',10000);
//--></script>

In either case the browser will warn the user that a form is being submitted for them, which they can then cancel.
