Javascript Web Crawler Confirm Confirmation box

Question

I am trying to confirm a confirmation box in Javascript for a school project. The confirmation box comes up asking if you want to submit, and I would like to submit programmatically. Here is the HTML for the form:

<form action="https://weekend.lps.wels.net/lpswp/index.php" method="post" id="form_wp_entry" onsubmit="return lpswp_confirm_submission('3,4','Friday,Saturday','Sunday')" style="display: inline;">
                        <table class="em_table" width="100%" style="margin-bottom: 5px;">

                            <tbody><tr>
                                <th align="left" id="lpswp_night_label_title_3">
                                    Friday
                                </th>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>

                                    Location: <input type="radio" name="lpswp_nights[3][location]" id="lpswp_nights_location_dorm_3" value="dorm" checked="checked" onclick="lpswp_toggle_location(3)"> <label for="lpswp_nights_location_dorm_3">Dorm</label> |
                                    <input type="radio" name="lpswp_nights[3][location]" id="lpswp_nights_location_home_3" value="home" onclick="lpswp_toggle_location(3)"> <label for="lpswp_nights_location_home_3">Home</label><br>

                            </tr>

                            <tr>
                                <th align="left" id="lpswp_night_label_title_4">

                            </tr>

                            <tr>
                                <th align="left" id="lpswp_final_dinner_label_title">
                                    Sunday Dinner

                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td id="lpswp_final_dinner_label_text" style="border: 0px;">

                                    I will NOT be eating in the cafeteria: <input type="radio" name="lpswp_final_dinner" id="lpswp_final_dinner_0" value="0"><br>
                                    <input type="hidden" name="lpswp_final_dinner_night" value="5">
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </tbody></table>
                    <input type="submit" value="Submit Weekend Plans">
                    <!--input type="reset" value="Cancel" /-->
                    </form>

Here is my current code that does not do anything to the confirmation box:

mWebView.loadUrl("javascript:(function(){" +
                            "document.getElementById('form_wp_entry').setAttribute('onsubmit','return true;');" +
                            ";})()");

Please help me, I am new to javascript... and coding in general.

Answer 1

You're looking for .submit() .
Note that this won't trigger any functionality that's hooked up to the onsubmit of the form:

 function output() { console.log('Submitted'); return false; } // Forcibly submit the form function customSubmit() { document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit(); } 

 <form name="a_form" onsubmit="return output()"> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> <br /> <button onclick="customSubmit()">Submit Programmatically</button> 

Hope this helps!
