Script Controlled POST?

 [1/5] from: jr:brainbyte at: 8-Oct-2000 3:42


SO lets say you construct a form out of ALL hidden type fields. And you want to submit it without the user having to press anything. Meaning you want to somehow let the script "Press the Submit button" for this invisible form. How to do that? Any ideas? thnks, Jeff

This sounds like a job for JavaScript on the HTML form page. Or have I totally mis-interpreted your intent? Andrew Martin Who's been playing with View and browsing (scrying) datatypes... ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/

This is a HTML/Javascript question, but I think the answer is to use an < onload=YourButton.click() > handler in the HTML body statement. Syntax may be off. Netscape's Javascript reference is here < http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsref/index.htm

I remember reading something in user manual (under networking chapter) regarding sending post/submit messages to the cgi script via rebol. Are you trying to view a web page which requires user-name/password through rebol? I think you should look at the html of the web page and find out what the post or submit command does (look at the javascript onclick or onsubmit event). Use the same command with the REBOL post command and it should return you the site. You can then parse the site to get any information you need. I haven't actually tried this, but will try it when I have time... Rishi Previously, you ([Al--Bri--xtra--co--nz]) wrote:
