Automatically submitting forms
Hi again, I have a situation where I'd like to automatically "press" a submit button. I have a form that acts more like a sub-routine. It simply processes a query, if the query is not successful, it displays and error message, if the query is successful it puts some data in a list and then asks then presents a "Continue" button. I'd really like to eliminate the use of the continue button, but don't know how to get the results of my lists to the next form without doing so. I guess I would like to programmatically submit the form if user intervention is not required. -- Stand Fast, tjg.

The "next form" (dtml document) should call the query using dtml-in. If there are results it spits out the appropriate html otherwise it spits out html indicating an error. <dtml-in "the_query()"> appropriate html <dtml-else> error html </dtml-in> __________________________________________________________________ Jim Sanford .
