Javascript - How to stop page refreshing constantly

Hi all
I have a very simple code to submit a form onLoad of a page, it works fine but IT keeps on refreshing every second, why ??? I really don't understand.
JS

Code:

function myfunc () {
	var form = document.getElementById("foo");
	form.submit();
	}

HTML

Code:

<body onload="myfunc()">
<form id="foo"  action="EventData" method="post" ></form>

Need some help please
Zed

well after the page loads it submits the form causing it to load again and after the page loads it submits the form causing it to load again and after the page loads it submits the form causing it to load again.....(break)

what are you trying to do? why would you need to submit the form on load?

Thanks for your significant input IAmALlama, What I am trying to do is , I have a index.jsp page that has to show some data from database, because it's the first page customer views it has to be onLoad so in order to fetch this data I'm trying to trigger a hidden form. All works well apart from like I said before, keeps on refreshing and refreshing and refreshing ... (No IAmALlama it doesn't take no break)

the break was more of a programming joke, when inside a loop, you can call break to exit the most recent started loop. I was meaning it like I was caught in a loop and was break'ing out.

to help you out, we probably need to see some more code. Im still fuzzy about why you need to submit the form to pull from the database. why can't you just pull the data from the database whatever data you want without submitting the form?
