    I want to create form which can submit data automatically, without using submit button.

    I need something like this http://www.bontragercgi.com/Automatic_Form_Submission_to_a_CGI_Program.html
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--
document.MyForm.ThisPageURL.value = document.URL;
var visitortime = new Date();
document.MyForm.TimeZoneOffset.value = visitortime.getTimezoneOffset();
document.MyForm.submit();
//--></script>
    Code (markup):
    
<form name="MyForm" method="POST" action="/cgi-bin/script.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="ThisPageURL" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="TimeZoneOffset" value="">
</form>
    Code (markup):
    But this doesn't work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    OOps this was the problem. I was adding the javascript at the top of page between <head> and </head> tags.

    Thanks.

    Here is a working auto-submit method: when page is loaded, it will the form will be immediately autosubmited (the values can be set with php variables).
    
<form action="page.php"  method="post">
<input type="text" name="example1" value="<?php echo $_POST['something1'];?>" />
<input type="text" name="example2" value="ANOTHER_YOUR_VALUE" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">document.forms[0].submit();</SCRIPT>
    Code (markup):
    for example, the $_POST['something1'] value is received from the previous real-user submited Form, and this form can add another input with ANOTHER_YOUR_VALUE.

    The thread is 5-1/2 years old. If he hasn't solved it by now, I don't think he cares how to solve it.
