Click button on loading the page

Question

How to make a certain buttom be clicked on the load of the page?

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

<script>
$("#submit").click(function() {
  $("#submit").click();
});
</script>

</head>

<body>

<form action="Untitled-9.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name" value="dsa"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" />
</form>


<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];

echo $name;

?>


</body>

This is the code I have and I want when the page is loaded to press the button "Register" automatically

just break the problem down: #1 how do I do something on page load; #2 how do I trigger a click; #3 drink, dance and rejoice. — lbstr

<?php if ($_POST["name"] == "") { ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("input[name=submit]").click();
    });
</script>

<?php } else {

    echo $_POST["name"];

} ?>

if you don't set a callback parameter .click trigger a click event... api.jquery.com/click for reference

this works perfect but once it load the page it just continiusly load it again and again.. just dont stop to load the page again and again

Bruno Over a year ago

is the page perhaps Untitled-9.php?

Bruno Over a year ago

that's because when you trigger the click event, you submit the form

why you want trigger that click right after the document ready?

Try this: $("#submit").trigger('click');

He needs to add an ID attribute to the submit button for this to work.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#submit").click();
  });
</script>

and put the id at:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" id="submit/>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
     $("#submit").trigger('click');
  });
</script>

would work as others have also suggested

you could also use

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function(){
     $("form").submit();
  });
</script>
