Hi All,

I need help Badly!!!

I am developing a site that will really take off once it's finished. I think its a great idea but am having a little trouble doing something with JavaScript...

I want to :

Open a New Browser Window of a certain size. - DONE in Code Below
Set Focus to this Window - DONE in Code Below
Click a Submit Button on a Form that is on the Page that loads.

It's Part 3 that i can't figure out. The way i want this to work is once the user clicks the button on my main page a new browser window opens and the Submit button is automatically clicked. Oh by the way i cannot edit the content of the page that is opened.

Details of Form:

Form Name : ADD
Input : <input type="submit" value="Add">

Code:

<html>
<body >
<CENTER>
<FORM>
<input type="button" VALUE="click me!" onClick="AddFriends()">
</FORM>
</CENTER>

<script language="JavaScript">
function AddFriends() 
{
win1 = window.open('http://www.google.com', 'newwindow', config='height=480, width=250, left=10, top=60, toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes')
win1.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>

</body>
</html>

You want a form on the new window that automatically gets submitted?
Well...
You make a form on the windows content like...

Code:

<form>
<input type="text" name="CRUCIAL_NAME" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Then, you make the new window's adress: www.yoursite.com/new_window's_name.htm?CRUCIAL_NAME=CRUCIAL_VALUE

I believe that should work.

I don't think that will work for what i am trying to do.

All i want to do is automatically click the Submit button on the new window...

I was thinking of using the JavaScript click() Function but have never used it before and need to know th syntax....

Anyone any ideas???

It will work, argh. I have done this before. Just make this the URL:
www.yoursite.com/new_window's_name.htm?CRUCIAL_NAME=CRUCIAL_VALUE
With the code I have pasted above.

You don't need any magical function for this.
