Onload form submit

HTML & CSS
1

i’m trying to submit a form using variants of onload=‘formname.submit();’ and am getting errors… can someone help me with getting a form submitted automatically when a page loads…?

thanks much,

<form id=“myForm”>
…
</form>

document.getElementById(‘myForm’).submit();

also you can use
<form name=“myForm”>
…
</form>
<script>
document.myForm.submit();
</script>

I need this same functionality.

Here is my code. As you can see, I have TWO places where the script is supposed to automatically submit itself. But neither of them work. What am I doing wrong?

<?php
 require_once("ShoppingCart.class");
 session_start();
 $cart=$_SESSION['cart'];
 
 ?>
 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Checkout </title>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
 function submitform(){
 document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
 }
 
 </script>
 
 </head>
 <body onload="submitform()">
 
 			   <form name="myForm" action="https://www.linkpointcentral.com/lpc/servlet/lppay" method="post" target="_blank">
 			   <input type='hidden' name='storename' value='456'>
 			 		  <input type='hidden' name='amount' value='5.00'>    
 		  </form>
 		  
 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
 document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
 </script>
 			   
 </body>
 </html>

btw, the above script worked in IE, (once I take the “target=_blank” attribute out)
but NOT in Mozilla Firefox, which is my browser of choice.

GOT IT WORKING IN FIREFOX…
I just changed the second one to document.myForm.submit(); and now it works in Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks
