How to submit form based on certain condition?

Question

I have one form data.php with following form structure.

 <div id="form-container" style="padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;">

  var x=Math.random();;
  if(x > 0.5)
  {
      submit form
  } 


 <p style="width: 100%; text-align: right;"><button type="button" id="submit-button">Sumit</button></p>

How form can be automatically submitted based on x value? Which means button should be pressed automatically.

You need to use javascript (or jquery). Take a look [here:](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9855656/how-to-submit-a-form-using-javascript) — Michel, Jan 25 '15 at 14:14
You mean that right when someone enters any value (Or a specific value) into X it should submit the form? — morha13, Jan 25 '15 at 14:17
@MorHaviv yes it should be automatically submitted when some enter x value. — Manish, Jan 25 '15 at 19:46

Will this submit form without pressing button? – Manish Jan 25 '15 at 14:49
But in my case button is having Jquery action so it must be pressed. – Manish Jan 26 '15 at 09:44
so your question is not quite asked well i propose. Correct me if i am wrong please: if(x > 0.5) and you pressed the button => Form should be submitted. if(x < 0.5) and you pressed the button => form shouldn't be submitted ? – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 13:15
No if x> 0.5 only then button should be pressed and submitted. – Manish Jan 26 '15 at 13:24
if x >0.5, the button should be pressed automatically or by a user ?? – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 13:25
You can add an asp.net value validation, the button will not be submitted unless the value is valid and > 0.5 – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 13:27

add a java script on value change on that x value, and check, if the value of x > 0.5 then do the document.getElementById('theForm').submit(); – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 13:28
Should be pressed automatically... there must be two options one user can submit and other based on event for generating number if event generates x>0.5 it will press the button and call Jquery for fetching data through ajax – Manish Jan 26 '15 at 13:29
But i do not have have structure (only div id) so document.getElementById('theForm').submit(); cannnot be used. – Manish Jan 26 '15 at 13:37
check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7020659/submit-form-using-a-button-outside-the-form-tag http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.2.1 – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 13:42
why can't you simply add a form and place your div inside it? – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 26 '15 at 14:15
Actually div element is already present in one form so i cannot use another form. So easiest way to fetch data using ajax. – Manish Jan 27 '15 at 07:15
please comment out with your solution. – Nada N. Hantouli Jan 27 '15 at 09:29
