Re: OT: Just a touch of Javascript
I's just fixin to suggest the onLoad event for the body tag when Jim stole it. It's going to be your best bet for doing this with JavaScript though... However, Isaac's suggestion about using CF for this is really your best bet! Have your form submit to a CF page, setup all your variables, and use a CFHTTP call with CFHTTPPARAM tags inside it to post your form submission to the cart engine... it'll guarantee that your system will work even if JS is off or there's an old browser or some other wierdness...

Re: OT: Just a touch of Javascript
I need to auto submit a form. The following *had* been working - and suddenly has stopped working in Netscape and Firefox, though it's fine in I.E. script language=JavaScript document.forms['cart'].submit(); /script 1. What's wrong with that? I don't know, but there shouldn't be any difference between that and document.forms.cart.submit() -- search the source, make sure there aren't 2 forms on the page both named cart. Also if it's not working, it should produce an error... in any of the mozilla browsers you should be able to type javascript: in the address bar to open their javascript debugger... It's in the pull-down menu also but I don't remember where. 2. Any way to do it Coldfusion only without JavaScript? Nope. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

If that code is verbatim, the /form tag hasn't happened yet when the script is called. The form object doesn't exist until its end tag closes it.

RE: OT: Just a touch of Javascript
Stricter browsers - like the ones you're having problems with - might balk at the fact that there's no body tag. I believe forms are only allowed in the HTML BODYs. You might also want to take advantage of the script's ability to know when things are loaded and more your script into the body tag on the onload handler - something like this: body onload=document.forms.cart.submit() Make sure to end the form tag, end the body tag and get rid of the script block completely.
