    Submit a form in FireFox ...

    Hi,

    Maybe someone know why this code does not work ...

    <html>
    <form name='frmData' action='http://www.adrX.ca/usr_auth.asp'
    method='POST'>

    <input type='hidden' name='USER_ID' value='12345'>

    <input type='hidden' name='lang' value='FR'>

    <input type='hidden' name='TOKEN' value='555555'>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    document.frmDat a.submit();
    </script>
    </form>
    </html>

    Thanks
    Chris

      By putting the Javascript code before the closing </form> tag,
      you're asking the browser to submit a form that doesn't exist, yet.

      <html>
      <body onload="documen t.frmData.submi t()">
      <form name="frmData" ...>
      ....
      </form>
      </body>
      </html>

          no, but :
          onload= Function("docum ent.forms['frmData'].submit()");
          or
          setTimeout('doc ument.frmData.s ubmit()',0);
          both work

              Only a guess, but I'd move the script block to after the </form>
              element. I'm guessing that the form is not completed when the script
              tries to run.

              Have you looked at the Javascript console in Firefox? That's usually
              very helpful.

                  not really an help :
                  "the form has no properties"

                  I think FF wait end of page
                  an onload
                  or a setTimeout (timer=0)
                  are OK
