Hi!

Is there any way to "submit" a form automaticly when a page loads?

This is my form:


How can I make this form "submit" without having the user click on a button (the "SE.gif")

Thanks
Kalle

Why not run the server-side program when the page is requested by the user?

I love pageloaf. With lots of butter and cheese!

Sorry - but your typo was funny!

Sounds like a great idea. Im really a beginner when it comes to anything outside HTML/CSS.
How do I run the server-side program on pageload?

Thanks for your help!

Got to draw your attention in some way

You simply put it in the HTML document. Then when a user requests the page (the one where the form currently is) the program is run on the server, and the result sent to the user.

Question is how the program is going to get the data that's currently in the (hidden) form field? How did it end up there in the first place?

Pageloaf sure gets my attention. A slice of pageloaf with a bowl of steaming hot tagsoup... Yummy!

Are you referring to PHP now?

Yes or any server-side language that can be embedded. Of course a program/script may also create a whole HTML document. The important thing is that if e.g. a browser requests an URL, a script on the server might be started (not necessarily return a web page). For example, requesting the URL to this very topic: http://forums.htmlhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=10096 makes the forum script create it on the fly.

Okey. Since Im really unfamiliar with php or likewise I would be glad for an code-example on how I do this.

Thanks again for your help

Like http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.firstpage.php ?

But again, how is the program going to get the data ("Swedish" in your example) that's currently in the (hidden) form field? The user or his browser must supply it in some way.
