Popup "Thank you for contacting" window instead of redirect to page

I have a pretty simple form-to-email contact form on my page (you can see it [URL=”http://bscphoto.com/testing/weddings/request_quote.html”]here [/URL]) Right now it has the generic thank you page and i have the option to redirecting to another page.. but i hate it.

So what i was HOPING was to just have a quick little popup that says “thanks for contacting” and they can close it or choose to go back to another page from there.

Or isntead of a popup window, it can clear out all of the form and just display a thankyou page.

Anyways.. here is my email form code:

Optional. Enter a From: email address. Only do this if you know you need to. By default, the email you get from the script will show the visitor’s email address as the From: address. In most cases this is desirable. On the majority of setups this won’t be a problem but a minority of hosts insist that the From: address must be from a domain on the server. For example, if you have the domain example.com hosted on your server, then the From: email address must be [email][email protected][/email] (See your host for confirmation). This means that your visitor’s email address will not show as the From: address, and if you hit “Reply” to the email from the script, you will not be replying to your visitor. You can get around this by hard-coding a From: address into the script using the configuration option below. Enabling this option means that the visitor’s email address goes into a Reply-To: header, which means you can hit “Reply” to respond to the visitor in the conventional way. (You can also use this option if your form does not collect an email address from the visitor, such as a survey, for example, and a From: address is required by your email server.) The default value is: $from_email = “”; Enter the desired email address between the quotes, like this example: $from_email = “[email protected]“; In these cases, it is not uncommon for the From: ($from_email) address to be the same as the To: ($my_email) address, which on the face of it appears somewhat goofy, but that’s what some hosts require.

*/

/* $from_email = “”; */

/*

Optional. Enter the continue link to offer the user after the form is sent. If you do not change this, your visitor will be given a continue link to your homepage.

If you do change it, remove the “/” symbol below and replace with the name of the page to link to, eg: “mypage.htm” or “http://www.elsewhere.com/page.htm“

*/

$continue = “/”;

/*

Step 3:

Save this file (FormToEmail.php) and upload it together with your webpage containing the form to your webspace. IMPORTANT – The file name is case sensitive! You must save it exactly as it is named above!

THAT’S IT, FINISHED!

You do not need to make any changes below this line.
