Form submit, but stay on same page?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 14.2007

Whenever I submit information with an ‘onSubmit()’, the current page is exited
and either a new page or refreshed version of the current page is displayed.

Is there a way to submit the information, but remain on the current page?
I am submitting to a FormMail.cgi if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any response.

@JMRKERauthorMay 14.2007 — I can do that, but it resets all the elements (text,textarea,etc.) to their initial conditions.

I would like to not lose this information and I think it is too much info for a cookie.

Thanks for the thought and I'll give it a try anyway.

@felgallMay 14.2007 — set the action to the current page written in a server side language. At the top of the code test if the post fields are available and if so process them before displaying the form.

Success!
