Submit form from javascript with form url

Question

I have a button. And I have a form that calls celery task. form has url, smth like

http://example.com/export/?user=user123&timedelta=10

I need to submit this form from confirm dialog.
How it should work... In user profile admin presses a button, javascript confirmation appears, admin clicks ok and the form from this url should be submitted. I'm sooo new to javascript and frontend programming. I need your help.

I'd read: api.jquery.com/submit and have a look at w3schools.com/js/js_popup.asp — CharliePrynn

@CharliePrynn I wouldn't look at anything on w3schools, since they have a habit of putting up information that is flat out wrong. Go for something that's actually reliable, such as the Mozilla Developer Network. — Anthony Grist

@AnthonyGrist Fair enough. Can't say I've used it in great detail myself so I have not noticed. — CharliePrynn

Something people usually forget when using this: Forms and their child elements should not use input names or ids that conflict with properties of a form, such as submit, length, or method.

Try this

    var r=confirm("Press a button");
        if (r==true)
          {

//Form is on another page so
window.location="your_url_withquerystring"
          }
        else
          {

          }
