I need to create a form on the fly

[Phil Powell]

Requirement is to refresh a page in the form of a continual form
submittal (for server-side validation and action)

Here is the Javascript I came up with that I thought would do that:

<script type="text/javascript">
function generateForm() {
document.forms[0].elements[0].name = 'username';
document.forms[0].elements[0].type = 'hidden';
document.forms[0].elements[0].value = 'ppowell'
document.forms[0].elements[1].name = 'hasSubmittedLogin';
document.forms[0].elements[1].type = 'hidden';
document.forms[0].elements[1].value = '1'
document.forms[0].elements[2].name = 'id';
document.forms[0].elements[2].type = 'hidden';
document.forms[0].elements[2].value = '144'
document.forms[0].elements[3].name = 'submit';
document.forms[0].elements[3].type = 'hidden';
document.forms[0].elements[3].value = 'Login to view required forms'
document.forms[0].action = '/student/formlist.php';
document.forms[0].submit();
}

self.setTimeout('generateForm', 8000);
</script>

I keep getting the same error in both Firefox (Linux) and Konqueror:

document.forms[0] has no properties

Is there a way to refresh a page automatically causing continual form
auto-submit, required for continual server-side activity?

Thanx
Phil

When you submit a form, the server sends back a new page.
Just have it send back the form, instead of creating it in script.

This is the closest I could get to what you were talking about:

<form name="manualResetForm" method="POST"
action="/student/formlist.php">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="ppowell">
<input type="hidden" name="hasSubmittedLogin" value="1">

<input type="hidden" name="id" value="144">
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Login to view required
forms">

<script type="text/javascript">
self.setTimeout('document.manualResetForm.submit', 8000);
</script>
<noscript>

Due to security constraints, once you click to view/download any of the
above-referenced forms, you must <input type="submit" name="submit"
value="click here"> before you are able to view/download any other
above-referenced form<br><br>
</noscript>

This never auto-submits the form and thus refreshes the page via FORM
post.

I managed to redesign it, however, nothing happens upon <body
onLoad="manualReset()">

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function manualReset() {
self.setTimeout('document.manualResetForm.submit', 800);
}

//-->
</script>

However, absolutely nothing happens and I can't seem to figure out why
at this point.

did your page have a form (even empty) ?

Yes, that would have to submit to your formlist.php

Yes. The original as well as the generated formlist.php has a form at
all times, verified via alert(document.manualResetForm);

It doesn't do that, and it's supposed to do that.

CODE:

<script type="text/javascript">
function autosubmit() {
alert(document.forms[0]);
document.manualResetForm.submit();
}

function manualReset() {
self.setTimeout('autosubmit', 800);
}
</script>
Nothing happens, no alert is spawned, nothing at all. No errors of any
kind.

GOT IT!

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function autosubmit() {
document.manualResetForm.submit();
}

function manualReset() {
self.setTimeout('autosubmit()', 15000);
}

//-->
</script>

Basically I just plain guessed it as all of the Google references I
found apparently were syntactically wrong for what I needed to do!
