Question

I am trying to submit a form after the document is loaded. Why isn’t this piece of code not working?

[EDIT]: The page is resubmitting to itself

[EDIT]: I am running on Ubuntu 10.10 Firefox 3.6

<form id="myform" name="myform" action="chat.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="displayname" id="displayname"/>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
    promptusername();
});

function promptusername()
{
    $('#displayname').val(prompt("Enter your display name"));
    //if($('#displayname').val() != null){
        $('#myform').submit();
    //}
    //else{
        //promptusername();
    //}         
}
</script>

I forgot the fact the page can be redirected from chat.php and so it was !!!
