Do you mean the Click event of WebButton? See:
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.web.gui/webbutton/immediate

I have not worked with gb.web.gui, so I am unsure exactly how to generate javascript on the client side. Nonetheless, if I am 
understanding the documentation correctly, you would need to give your form a name, for example:
<form name=myForm action="http://miohost/xxx/yyy.cgi" method="GET">

and then generate this javascript code in the Click event of your WebButton:
document.myForm.submit()


Now you may already know this, so for the sake of others: by using the GET method in your form, you are sending the "user" and 
"pass" values in clear text in the URL.
