Pre-populate and Automatic Submit

I've learned how to pre-populate a form using an S-Control and/or Custom Link.
 
Is it possible to automatically submit the pre-populated form without user intervention?
 
Ultimately, I'd like to pre-populate several different forms and auto-submit them.  Sounds like a job for API man, however, I don't have access to the API due to this being a Team Edition version.
 
I'm workink with AJAX.  Any method that doesn't require the API would be valuable.
 
If you don't think this is possible, that feedback would be useful as well!
 
Thanks!

Anthony,

If you are using a custom link and are wanting to have it go to the record, populate values, and save within it you can do this.  I think the field that you have to put at the end would be &save=1.  This should save the record and put the user on the view detail page of that record.

ON this topic I have an S-control button which updates the opportunity name with the account name and date - however it opens a new browser - is there a snippet of code that would make this happen in the same window?
