Hi,
There's a javascript equivalent to "user clicks the submit button", It's
document.<formName>.submit()
It will then submit your form according to the target, method and action given
in the <FORM> tag.
You may also overwrite these using:
document.<formName>.target = ..
document.<formName>.method = ...
document.<formName>.action = ...
You will have to use a different target each time or have a delay between your
servlet calls, if not I guess they won't be call all (it's like when you begin
to load a page and then change your mind and click on an other link, the first
call is cancelled).
Hope this helps
Isabelle

I know that and that's my problem. I would like the posting to be done
without any user interaction since with one action, I know all I need for
doing about 6 post requests. It's a bit weird if you don't know the
background but it will be long to explain. I would like to know if I can
post data without requiring user interaction. By creating a form with an
automatic posting (just like if the submit button were pressed but without
user press) or by doing something else... I've got the impression this
can't really be done...

Thansk for the link, nice but I didn't find the answer :-(
