How to cause a form to be submitted automatically on page load in JavaScript?

Question

This may have an obvious answer, but I am very new to js so I have no idea how to do this. I would like a form on a page to be submitted automatically when that page is load

Answer 1

I'd go with what sAc suggests, but I'd use an event listener rather than just writing to window.onload:

function submit_form() { document.formName.submit(); }

if(window.attachEvent){
    window.attachEvent("onload", submit_form);
}else{
    window.addEventListener("load", submit_form, false);
}
