I have written a javascript function to generate and submit a dynamic form. But, I'm not able to submit it. Here's my code. The function below is called by click on a button. The form is submitted to the same page where the button is placed. i.e., to index.php.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

function dynaForm(){
	
	var new_form = document.createElement("form");
	new_form.method = "POST";
	new_form.action = "../index.php";
		
	var actionField = document.createElement("input");
	actionField.name = "act";
	actionField.type = "hidden";
	actionField.value = "update";
	
	new_form.appendChild(actionField);

	new_form.submit();
}

Hello,

It appears that although you create the form element and inject a button, you don't actually add it to the document at any point. I may be mistaken but I think you need to put the form somewhere before submitting it will work.

Try adding the following before you call .submit()

document.appendChild(new_form);

( If I'm having a derp and you can't call appendChild from the document, try adding it to the body )

Thank you for the reply. />/> Added form tag to the body and generated the form elements dynamically. And,it worked. Thanks a lot.
