I'm sure some people know how to do this, but when i approached this task, i was confused. So:
1. Find a proper form_id of form you want to submit automatically with javascript. You can find it in html generated by Drupal
2. Use a hook_form_alter to add this elements to form. Without them, after javascript submit, Drupal FAPI do not know what to do with form.
$form['op'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#value' => t('Post comment') // The task was to autosubmit comment reply form
);
$form['form_id'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#value' => 'comment_form' // comment_form for me and form_id you want to submit
);3. Then in the javascript when you call
document.getElementById('comment-form').submit();you'll have drupal form submitted in a normal way it should.
