Question

I want to be able to submit a form after a page loads automatically through Javascript.

I am writing a google chrome extension.

So far the extension can fill in text in the input boxes but I can’t figure out a way to get to the next step where the user would click Submit. Please help. Thank you.

EDIT: Pardon my edit. It wasn’t clear that he was writing a chrome extension to those of us in the chatroom. –drachenstern

Answer 1

Did you try something like document.getElementById('myForm').submit() ?

With a form like (after EDIT):

<form id="myform" action="/url/To/Action">
  ...
</form>
...
<script>
  document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
</script>

EDIT after your comment:
The script tag must be after the form tag. Or at the very end of the body tag if you want to be sure all the DOM elements are loaded.
