How to auto-submit form in visualforce page

I have a visualforce page with an html form.  The form is a post method, has 2 hidden inputs and is targeted to an apex:iframe.  I can't figure out how to get the form to auto-post to eliminate an extra click (submit button) for my users.  The <body onload> does not appear to be working. I'm probably doing it all wrong.  Thanks in advance for your thoughts/input.

<apex:page controller="myController" tabStyle="Contact" showHeader="true" sidebar="true" >
    <html >
        <body onload="document.myForm.submit()" >
            <form action="{!sessionLink}"  method="post" id="myForm" name="myForm" target="myFrame" >
                <input type="hidden" name="X-BEARER-TOKEN" value="{!bearerToken}" />
                <input type="hidden" name="X-REFRESH-TOKEN" value="{!refreshToken}" />
                <center ><input type="submit" name="submit" value="initiate {!vendor} session" /></center>
            </form>
        </body>
    </html>

                <input type="hidden" name="X-REFRESH-TOKEN" value="{!refreshToken}" />
                <center ><input type="submit" name="submit" value="initiate {!vendor} session" /></center>
            </form>
        </body>
    </html>

    <apex:iframe scrolling="true" id="myFrame" frameBorder="true" width="100%" />
</apex:page>
