<form name='frmData' action='http://www.adrX.ca/usr_auth.asp'
method='POST'>

<input type='hidden' name='USER_ID' value='12345'>

<input type='hidden' name='lang' value='FR'>

<input type='hidden' name='TOKEN' value='555555'>

By putting the Javascript code before the closing </form> tag,
you're asking the browser to submit a form that doesn't exist, yet.

<html>
<body onload="document.frmData.submit()">
<form name="frmData" ...>
....
</form>
</body>
</html>

no, but :
onload= Function("document.forms['frmData'].submit()");
or
setTimeout('document.frmData.submit()',0);
both work

<html>
<form name='frmData' action='http://www.adrX.ca/usr_auth.asp'
method='POST'>

<input type='hidden' name='USER_ID' value='12345'>

<input type='hidden' name='lang' value='FR'>

<input type='hidden' name='TOKEN' value='555555'>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.frmData.submit();
</script>
</form>
</html>

Thanks
Chris

Only a guess, but I'd move the script block to after the </form>
element. I'm guessing that the form is not completed when the script
tries to run.

Have you looked at the Javascript console in Firefox? That's usually
very helpful.

Tried that and ... no more :-(

not really an help :
"the form has no properties"

I think FF wait end of page
an onload
or a setTimeout (timer=0)
are OK
