I am making a new form and need the submit button to both send the form and link them to another page. The sending part is no problem but how do I also make that same button link to another page (for example…a ‘thanks for completing our form’ page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

@UltimaterMar 22.2005 — You're supposed to send forms to SERVER-SIDE Programs—where

the server-side program will read the in-coming information,

called the QUERY_STRING ,and then

give the user a "thanks for completing our form" message.

Otherwise you can use either frames or cookies.

@jmoreilly99authorMar 22.2005 — this is the current code i have...

<input type="submit" value="send" onClick="mailto:[email protected]"/>

However, i also need this button to link to another page...thanks.htm

@jmoreilly99authorMar 22.2005 — In a different website project I want the submit to link to another page entirely (not a thank you page)...so the simple message will not be enough.

@UltimaterMar 22.2005 — You'd best set-up a server-side program to accept the in-coming

information and with-in this server-side program,

both&mdash;send the information to your e-mail and then write to

the screen a thank you note.

Go into one of the server-side forums and ask someone to write one for you.

I'd personally use PERL but there is always ASP and PHP.

Success!
