submit form question - HTML & CSS

I need the form to submit as soon as the page loads, before they go to another page, and without any interaction from the viewer. Is this possible?

    O.K. I figured it out. It was so simple that I overlooked the obvious: <body
    onload="formName.submit()">

    Just curious-- I'm a newbie, so maybe this is a stupid question, but why
    would you want someone to submit a form right after they enter your site and
    before they do anything else? ?

    Default Submit Form Question

    :beer;

    I am having a problem with the "validate form behavior" and the "Go to URL
    behavior" on a form button. Both work just fine on there own. The issue is I
    have the form validated on the button and it completes it. if an error occurs,
    it will inform me of the issue then go to the url without making me change it.
    How do I set the button to first validate, then (if) all the info is good to
    go, go to URL? If the info is flagged, it will not submit.

    I assume you set the Validate Form behaviour
    and then the Goto URL behaviour with action onclick applied on the submit
    button.
    just goto code view and add
    if (doent.MM_returnValue == true)
    between the method
    MM_validateForm(.........);
    and
    MM_goToURL(..........);
