Q.  How can I programatically submit an HTML form?

A.  Call the form's submit method.  If you only have one form:

	function submitTheForm() {
		if (document.forms.length == 0) return false;
		document.forms[0].submit();
	}

If you have multiple forms:

	<form id=the_second_form>
	</form>

	<script>
	function submitSecondForm() {
		var	obj;

		obj = document.getElementById('the_second_form');
		obj.submit();
	}
	</script>
