Please, add the tags "jquery" and "javascript" next time. Thanks.Yasir Arsanukayev– Yasir Arsanukayev2011年03月02日 15:47:52 +00:00Commented Mar 2, 2011 at 15:47

<form method="GET" action="picture.php" id="picture-form">
... followed by the following call in javascript, wherever it might be required ...
$('form#picture-form').submit();
Note that an ID has been added to the form for an accurate jQuery reference. just doing $('form').submit(); could be very evil.
Fully fledged example follows.
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form method="GET" action="picture.php" id="picture-form">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$('form#picture-form').submit();">Submit me!</a>
</form>

.I used your code $('form#picture-form').submit(); but still when i click the link is does not forward the code to the next php page.

It definitely can work. I've knocked up a really simple example above. If you can post what you've got, maybe we can spot why it isn't working.
take a look at this link : http://api.jquery.com/submit/ - Bind an event handler to the "submit" JavaScript event, or trigger that event on an element.

There's even no need for jQuery, you can do it in vanilla JavaScript:
<form method="GET" action="picture.php" id="picture-form">
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById("picture-form").submit()>Click me!</a>
...
</form>
