I have an issue we are trying to solve right now. First users fill out a form, which sends it to a second page, where the info is compiled into an email and send to us using VBscript. So that we know they signed up to receive info. the problem we have is the info also has to be submitted to a secondary site that tracks all our users. but we can't figure out how to send it, once we are already on the second page. We need to send the email first because sometimes users are lost if the server locks for a second, or it hangs and they close the screen.
Any thoughts? we are currently trying to send it using Javascript.
Thank you.

See we already have that built. The problem we have is the comapny that the info goes to wants us to use the "action=address" statement in the form. for our action we have it sending us to our thank you page, where the info is bundled and emailed to us. We still need the info to go to the secondary company, but email us first. and without having the user click another "submit" button. We can't figure it out.
We tried a hidden "onload" function, having two action statements on the same form, two different forms, etc, etc.
I feel like during the first "post" the information is discarded and there is nothing left to grab... Thanks for responding though.
