Menu
Hi,
I have a contact page that I need help with. Right now, after the surfer inputs their info in all the different fields (name, email, comments, etc…) and hits the ‘submit’ button, a new sized window pops up and says ‘thanks for submitting’.
However, all the info the surfer typed into the fields remain there even after they hit the ‘submit’ button. What I want to happen is that after they hit the submit button and after the ‘thanks for submitting’ window pops up, I want all the fields to be cleared.
How can I do this? Any help?
If you want to see what I have right now, check the below link:

If you want to see the PHP file that the above HTML page is calling to, you can see it below here:
[code=php]
<?php # Script 3.12 – filloutform.php
//setting variables to send email
$FN = $_POST[‘FirstName’];
$LN = $_POST[‘LastName’];
$EM = $_POST[‘Email’];
$CM = $_POST[‘Comments’];
//register the user in the database
if ($FN && $LN && $EM && $CM) {
echo ‘<title>Contact</title><p><b>Your message has been sent!</b></p>’;
$sentemail = true;
}
if ($sentemail) {
$body2me = “First Name: n ‘{$_POST[‘FirstName’]}’ nn
Last Name: n ‘{$_POST[‘LastName’]}’ nn
Email: n {$_POST[‘Email’]} nn
Comments: n ‘{$_POST[‘Comments’]}’ nn”;
$myemail = “[email protected]”;
mail ($myemail,’Contact Page’, $body2me);
exit();//quit the script.
} else {//if it didn’t run OK
$message = ‘<p>Your email cannot be sent due to a system error. We apologize for any inconvenience.</p>’;
echo $message;
}
?>
