using Jquery to automatically submit form

Question

I am trying to submit a form by using jquery automatically after page load

$(function(){

$(\"input[name=name]\").val(\"somename\");
$(\"input[name=email]\").val         


        

Answer 1

Try this $('#aweberform').submit();

Answer 2

ok i found out the problem

apparently the submit input cannot have the name submit

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="click to submit!">

changed to

<input type="submit" name="someothername" value="click to submit!">

and that got the problem fixed

Answer 3

Try this document.getElementById('formId').submit();

Answer 4

Add a function in the submit. Seems to work for me.

$('#aweberform').submit(function(){return true;});

Answer 5

I had to remove my Submit button to get $('#myForm').submit() to work. Not sure why.
