Who knows, could be the usual timing error. Try onload instead:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function()
{
document.forms[0].submit();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

Re: Problem on FIREFOX with "document. form.submit();& quot;

as far i can see you just want to pass two values that cannot be
altered by the user to the next page. why use a form at all?

some kind of redirect to "my_next_page.h tm?value1=value &value2=valu e"
will make the values accessible like posted with method="get" and you
can avoid javascript at all (which is always desirable - imho)
