Submit a form without clicking a button

<form class="myform" action="mail.php">
Your name:<br>
<input type="text" name="myform-name"><br><br>
Your file:<br>
<input type="file" name="myform-file"><br><br>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

How do I submit this form using vanilla javascript (not jQuery) directly from the code (without user interaction)?

Solution

  • You can use:

    document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit()
