onSubmit write text

Oct 25.2010

Hey, on my website im currently using a form where a user submits their E-mail and Name and they get put on my subscription list.
When the user clicks submit, there really is no notification telling them that it worked successfully.

What I’m trying to do is when the user clicks submit, text appears right above the form saying “You have successfully subscribed to {list name}.”
I do not want this to be a popup. Any idea on how to do this?

@FangOct 25.2010 — A "successfully" subscription can only be validated using server-side scripting.

Just poping up a message is possible with JavaScript, but it can in no way be described as a "successfully" subscription.

You can always put a label above to display the information you want.

@cbVisionOct 25.2010 — As vishnukumargr and Fang both referenced, you'll want to use server side scripting mixed with AJAX. I'd guess your server language is PHP, so I'd recommend doing some googling for "php ajax form" and read through some tutorials.

@HavensauthorOct 25.2010 — Well the problem isn't so much checking whether or not it was successful, im using the subscription company 'aweber' to do all that. all i need is some text saying "Thank you for subscribing to the newsletter." to appear after they click submit. because right now they click submit and it just redirects them back to the page.

Success!
