Auto submit form after 5 seconds

[Jason Roscoe, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

I have a customer portlet, that I would like to auto submit a form in this portlet after x number of sceonds, let's say 5 for example. I have the below in my xhtml file;

<form id="qrcodeRedirectForm" name="qrcodeRedirectForm" method="post" action="${formAction}">		
		<input type="hidden" name="qr_code_identifier" id="qr_code_identifier" value="${qr_code_identifier}">				
		<div class="enroll-button">
			<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="inputButton"></p>
		</div>
		<noscript>
			<p>
				Please click the below button to go to the page you requested.
			</p>
			<p>
				<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="inputButton">
			</p>
		</noscript>
	</form>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		jQuery(document).ready(function() {
		   setTimeout(document.qrcodeRedirectForm.submit(),6000);
		});   
	</script>

the above seems to work, but it is not waitinf for 5 seconds. It is redirecting almost immediately. I can change the setTimeout call to be 60000, and it redirects immediately. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Hi Jason,
Try

           setTimeout(document.qrcodeRedirectForm.submit,6000);

That is - remove the parens after submit. You're calling submit() when you're setting the timeout, when what you want to do is pass the submit function reference.

I implemented your suggestion, but now page is not getting auto submitted at all.

I actually got this working using the below:

<script type="text/javascript">
		window.onload=function(){
			window.setTimeout('document.qrcodeRedirectForm.submit()', 500)
		}
	</script>

Thanks.
