  • 0

This should be an easy fix for the right guru! Everything is working for me except that I can’t get this form to submit without clicking the submit button. The data values are all valid. The action page, …gdform.php, uses $_post to get the “redirect” value from the form and then uses php to do a header Location change. That works fine if I execute the form with the submit button. I just need it to happen without any click…
Take a look, please!

    I might be wrong but shouldn’t it be: (corrected typos)

    $(document).ready(function(){
   myfunc(); <--// with ();
}); 

function myfunc() {  <--// without space
    var frm = document.getElementById("notice");
    frm.submit();
}

    or better yet:

    $(document).ready(function(){
   $("form#notice").submit();
});

    EDIT:

    Prowla is right, you also didn’t declare the jQuery library. Good catch Prowla, I missed that, just saw the typos.

    EDIT #2:

    Your code is pretty messy there, and you have that PHP generated string in the <head>. Also your submit had no value, you used name. I cleaned it up, here is working code (for me at least):

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Nitrofill Document</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("form#notice").submit();
    });
    </script>

    You might want to consider using firebug to help you troubleshoot your pages. Its how I figured this out. Also remember Prowla’s advice, and protect your SQL.
