Auto Submit

Is it possible to submit without click?

I have a form that needs to be confirmed before the user sees it.

Is there a way to make a form submit without the user actually clicking the submit button?

<element onPickYourEvent="document.forms.formname.submit();">

Why on earth do you need to submit a form without the user seeing it? Isn't the whole point of a form to get user input?

What do you mean by "confirmed before the user sees it"?

I need to automate a login process for a client. They have a username and password for a booking system that they would like their clients to be able to use. I have a form that will send the information, but a confirmation screen comes up that needs to be submitted.

They don't want their users to see this screen becuase information can be edited. If the confirmation form can be submitted automatically, then the users can use the booking system.

I don't fully understand why a login has to be automated, what's the point of a login?

I use an "invisible form" in a Content Management System I developed, and usually looks like this:

<form name="return" method="post" action="<? echo $some_url?>">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<? echo $id?>">
<input type="hidden" name="mssg" value="<? echo $mssg?>">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.return.submit();
</script>

Thus, the form is automagically submitted without the user knowing what is going on.

If that booking system is developed by you or this client of yours (and considering I understand correctly what you need) I would suggest setting a cookie and if it exists, then skip the login page.
