'onLoad?' or something

currently my HTML loads a servlet when the SUBMIT button is activated. I want a servlet to run when the page loads.
Don't know much about Java or HTML - need advice on TAG to write at both ends (i.e within HTML and Servlet).

cheers.....

If the page has something like:

<form method="post" action=(your servlet here) name="theForm">

you can submit it at page load by making the body tag of the page :
<body onLoad="document.theForm.submit()">

I'm not sure what you mean by "TAG at both ends" - your servlet (as specified in the action of your <form> tag needs to have a doPost() method that handles the post.
