javascript thread: autosubmitting a form
Message #1 by ecoleman@e... on Wed, 27 Dec 2000 15:55:18 -0000
Thanks for the reply but I've since figured it out.  Having a submit button
on the form was causing the problem.  Here's the code that works

<HTML>
<BODY onLoad="document.mainForm.submit()">
     <FORM METHOD="POST" NAME=mainForm ACTION="get_cookie.asp">
          <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=action VALUE=again>
     </FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks again for the reply though.
Erik
