Form Post

[alf]

Thanks for reading my post. I would like to know anyone can help me with this. I want to click one button/link to submit many forms at once. Someone told me that it can be done by using Javascript.
Does anyone know how to do this? The purpose I wanted to do that is to automate submission of over 30 forms /day to my site for analysing purpose. Thanks!

with vbscript, it can be done using the 'form.submit' command. You can write it directly, into your page, i think, like below:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
Private Sub SubmitForms()
form1.submit
form2.submit
form3.submit
End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Then, in your form code, write:

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" onClick="VBScript:SubmitForms()">

Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but I believe this should work. I am a little rusty on syntax, though, so I would get a second opinion if I was you. Also, I'm unsure of the "VBScript:SubmitForms()" line. You may be able to just say "SubmitForms()".

Good luck with your scripts!

Also, this may have been better suited for the "Client Side Programming" forum.

If I was a community admin, I would move it.

But, hmmmm, let's see..nope, still not an admin.

Moved.

The problem I see with a VBScript/JavaScript solution is that as soon as you submit the first form in a page, the browser stops running your script to load the result page from the form! If each of your forms are in a different frame/window of the page, then you could do it quite easily, however.

Kevin's definitely right.

Gotta hand it to the man.

Thanks goober and Kevin for your valuable information. Actually I am not good in Java/VB scripting. Can any of you please tell me how to make the forms in a different frame/window of the page as Kevin mention? Your information is very helpful to me.
Thanks again!
