To post data to a remote payment server, my website generates a page that looks like this:

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body onload="document.form1.submit()">
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="https://secure.paymentsite.com/purchase" >
      <input type="hidden" name="instId" value="1">
      <input type="hidden" name="itemId" value="23">
      <input type="hidden" name="currency" value="USD">
      <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="9">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

I generate a page like this so that I can log the choice the user has made to my database before redirecting the user to an external site to pay.

However, it takes around 6 seconds for the form to be submited once the page loads. During this time, the user is displayed a plain white screen, and may wonder if the website is broken.

Is it possible to make a form that submits as soon as the page has loaded?

    jquery’s $(document).ready(function(){….} executes when the DOM has finished loading. That would be one of many solutions.
