So basically you're shanghai-ing an innocent/unsuspecting user by forcing submit of a form the user may not approve?

Hi
I don't need the user to submit cuz it's a server page
.. I will run it to do some order in my script..

Can you help? :(

I'm stumped. If even using the setTimeout approach suggested by DrDoc here
[webmasterworld.com ] doesn't work for you either, then there may be some security feature in your browser that is stopping auto form submission.
