Hey all! I have a form which I submit to perform a "-find" action. The problem is I want the form to automatically submit when the page loads. I thought I could use the Javascript onload command, and then do a frmSubmit.submit(); command, but apparently a submit() command isn't exactly the same as pressing a submit button. How can I make a page submit automatically and still perform the "-find" action??

Thanks!

Use a page like this to start with:

<body on..load="javascript:document.startfm.submit();">

<form name="startfm" action="FMPro" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="StreetChecker3.fp5">

<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="CGIfields">

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="get_street.html">

<input type="hidden" name="streetname" value="Any Rd">

<input type="hidden" name="-find">

</form></body></html>

The "on..load" should be "onload". I needed to do that so it would display properly here.

Hope this helps.
