How to submit dynamically generated hidden forms

[P]

Hi,

As the subject says, I would like to submit dynamically generated
hidden forms with javascript. I'm fairly new to javascript. I've
googled around but couldn't find a solution. I would appreciate if
someone can point me to the right direction.

Thanks

Re: How to submit dynamically generated hidden forms

On the site you've provided, it gave this example:

<form name="myform" action="handle-data.php">
Search: <input type='text' name='query'>
<A href="javascrip t: submitform()">S earch</A>
</form>
<SCRIPT language="JavaS cript">
function submitform()
{
document.myform .submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

What I'm hoping to do is to have a function like that, but takes an
argument for the name of the form. This is probably the wrong syntax
but I think it shows what I want to do:

function submitform(form ID)
{
document.formID .submit();
}

IIRC the form name isn't a valid object in any browser.

I think the submit function has to be called in the body of the form...
but I may be wrong about that.

Re: How to submit dynamically generated hidden forms

Yes, you are correct. The function I wrote is not valid. But is it
possible to do something similar?

If the form has an id attribute and you pass its value in as the formID
parameter then you can use
var form;
if (document.getEl ementById && (form =
document.getEle mentById(formID ))) {
form.submit();
}
