Form Won't Go To New Page On Submit

[Beemer]

I've searched javascripts.com, tried there addition scripts to no avale. I'm using Front PageY2K and I can't figure out how to send the form user to a Thank You page. Is there a nice soul out there that wouldn't mind taking a look at a form and possibly give a suggestion?

I've removed the attempts I've made and the form is in good working order.

Generally on a form, the 'Action' parameter in the form tag specifies a new page to go to when the form is submitted (usually for processing). You currently have it mailing yourself and the website it is on (which is fine and can also be done ).

ACTION="mailto:beemer@beemerworld.com;sales@stopsl ipindustries.com?subject=Product Inquiry"

If it is currently working and mailing to both emails, then you might be able to append a page name in there too, I've never tried multiple items in the 'Action' parameter before though. It would be something like this:

ACTION="mailto:beemer@beemerworld.com;sales@stopsl ipindustries.com?subject=Product Inquiry;ConfirmPage.htm"

It's worth a try possibly!

I'm also wondering about your Subject in the second email, is it working? Since there is a space in the Subject line, I'm wondering if you might need single quotes around it??

Another possibility might be to create a javascript function for the 'onsubmit' method that will include the current call to 'FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)'.

Something like this maybe:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function fncCheckAndSubmit(theform){
  if(FrontPage_Form1_Validator(theform)){
      location = "ConfirmPage.htm";
      return true;
  }
  else{
      return false;
  }
}
//-->
</script>

*(Note: I am assuming the Frontpage function returns true or false, which it looks like it does)

then the onsubmit would be:
onsubmit="return fncCheckAndSubmit(this);"

Other than this my mind fails me!! I just woke up...

Good luck, hope this might help a little!

hhmmm, well, I copied the page and am playing around with it. Most I've gotten it to do is the email(I temporarily changed to my @home acct)! It seems like it is something to do with the webbot validation (Frontpage validation) which, if I remember correctly doesn't work in Netscape anyways.

If I get something going I'll let you know.

Thanks ^hyd^
I really appreciate it.

Cheers!

For future reference, here's a great resource site: http://www.irt.org

I tried adding the java above, below and inside the form and when I hit the send button, the page stays put.

onsubmit="return fncCheckAndSubmit(this);"

can the (this) in the line above be changed to the address of conform1.htm

?

I'm wondering why Microsoft didn't put a forwarding function in the Front Page program??? It's seems kind of like a natural need of a form???

Thanks for the help so far.

Cheers!

Oh! The Product Inquiry does set the subject line properly.

Well, thanks to Chad, everything works now.
We worked on a series of forms linking to thank you pages. Take a peek if you like.

Inquiries, and all the buy links. Testing will end July31/01 so if you want to try out the process button, go ahead. E-mail format is only being checked so please use beemer as your name and beemer@beemerworld.com on your E-mail address.

Thanks

Cheers!
PS: If you are serious about purchasing, use your real name and address of course. lol

Well if you are using Frontpage2000 there is a simple way:

First,

Write the form in Frontpage2000 (WYSIWYG or not it doesn't matter) then you click inside the form area (outlined) and select in the menu:

'Insert' - 'Form' - 'Form properties'.

You go to options and it gives you the option to make a confirmation page which you write the address of in the correct text box.

Glad to be of service hope this helps.

If you want a solution in html then e-mail me and I will tell you that too.
