[SOLVED] Direct Link to Form

[tmh766]

Is there a way to automatically call an html form submit? For example, instead of clicking a submit button on a web page can you create a link that goes to where the submit button links to?

You can use JavaScript. Something like: form.submit

Google "javascript form submit"

[tmh766]

I dont understand the syntax on how to do that. What would be the link to "simulate the clicking" of a submit button in a form on the page, for example "page.html". I hope I am explaining this clear enough.

 

So basically instead of going to a seperate page and clicking submit on a form, I want to directly link to the seperate page's form's submit button.

You're saying you have two pages, one with a link and one with a form. You click on the link in the first, and it automatically submits the second?

 

Why not just combine into one page.

 

You'd need to do the javascript on the second page anyway, so I don't see how having two pages makes sense.

Yes, I am trying to make the link in the first page simulate the clicking of the submit button in the form on the second. The reason I cant make it in to one page, is because the second page is not mine. Basically I am trying to bypass a confirm page because its not needed.

What is the action of the form? You could just direct the link to the action page of that, using a hidden form to post.

 

Are you trying to hax0r Neopets? You are, you little rascal.

Lolol, no but i do love neo pets, that can be next week . I am trying to bypass the confirm add friend page on myspace. The only way to do this would be to simulate the clicking of the confirm button. Any ideas on how it is possible to automatically simulate this?

[tmh766]

My orig idea was to use php to search for the confirm friend link and the hash code and put them together then redirect to that page but I dont know what the final link including the hash code should look like.

When you're on the page where the confirm pops up, right click and view the source. find the action="" part of the form. Then find all the values in the form, the inputs, any hidden, etc.

 

Then you make a similar form and make your action go there. Basically copy the form, minus the javascript confirm. Then we can go from there.

Here is the forms structure without the real links.

 

<form name="addFriend" action="myspacelink" method="post" >

<input type="hidden" name="hashcode" value="longhashvalue">

<input type="hidden" name="friendID" value="theirfriendid">

<input type="submit" value="Add to Friends">

<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="window.history.back()">

 

Here is the forms structure with the real links from a random user.

 

<form name="addFriend" action="http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=invite.addFriendsProcess&Mytoken=909A2E2B-88B4-4E7D-8B2DA5A777A432F798631754" method="post" >

 

<input type="hidden" name="hashcode" value="MIGVBgorBgEEAYI3WAOqoIGGMIGDBgorBgEEAYI3WAMBoHUwcwIDAgABAgJmAwICAMAECBvhIvr2wAuDBBAEjamhOiQZAiychlc+uNoYBEhFSu9EUbxzt7M9asVllXEX1SA6DQWcdHU/6lsjk8t3obM7jLhpO/icyWWiykS4RBBCnYUVL1j611S132EYCI5NFtJvfcYxBis=">

 

<input type="hidden" name="friendID" value="156840420">

 

<input type="submit" value="Add to Friends">

 

<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="window.history.back()">

So you'd need to know all the info to fill in those forms.

[tmh766]

so theres no way to automate the clicking of the submit button?

[Jessica]

Not as far as I know, as you don't have control over the page. What you're trying to do is likely against the TOS of MySpace anyway, so I've helped as much as I am willing to with this. Have fun.
