Question

I have this form into PHP pages:

echo "<form action=\"xxx.php\" method=\"post\" id=\"test\" name=\"test\">
 <input type=\"submit\" name=\"oooo\" value=\"Sincronizza\"> 
</form>";

On top I have this JavaScript for automatic submit:

<script type='text/javascript'>
<!-- 
function send() {
var objForm = document.getElementById('test');
objForm.action='xxx.php';
objForm.submit();
}

window.setTimeout('send()', 5000)

//--> 
</script>

Unfortunately, the script start an refresh page and not an auto-submitting.

What is the problem?

Answer 1

Using JavaScript to submit, the value of the submit-input tag is not posted. A solution could be to include a hidden type input in the form:

<input type="hidden" name="oooo" value="Sincronizza">
