I would like to call a third party script on form submition and load my own page after that.

Cannot find an answer so far, is it so hard to do?

Put the script in the head of the page, or add to the script so that it redirects the browser.

Would you care to elaborate,Just saying third party script does not ring any bells at all..

:-)
a bit more detail on events and script loading before and after form submission would be help full

I have to call a third party script that takes input from a form.

The script returns some textual information (some codes which i can't show to users. )

Ideally I would like to process the output and display a page with results.

I have no control over the scripts (a bank appl.)

I tried to call the url in onload but doesn't work.
:((


I am looking for a quick way to call the scripts, including use of asp.

I still am not cear on third party script.

anyways here what I understood and made a solution accordingly.

create a javascript file which i named as
"thirfparty.js"

then import this file

and have rest of the code .
Below is the contents of
"thirdparty.js" file .


function processData(val1,val2){
return new Array(val1*2,val2+6);
}



Then I have all this code in an html page


<script type="text/javascript" src="thirdparty.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function process(){
var frm = document.form1;
var text1 = frm.text1.value;
var text2 = frm.text2.value;
var result = processData(parseInt(text1),parseInt(text2))
alert("values returned from .js file processing\n"+
text1+" * 2 = "+result[0]+", "+text2+" + 6 ="+result[1]);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" action="">
<input type="Text" name="text1" class="text"></input><br>
<input type="Text" name="text2" class="text"></input><br>
<input type="Button" class="button" value="Button" onclick="process();"></input><br>
</form>



Cheers

Great, thanks Khalid

Two things, the scipt is a cgi one called

http://thirdserver..../scr.cgi?data&data


and after the user submits the form, and the scipt returns my next page should load. How do I do that?

instead of the alert()
use this code

document.location.href = "yourNextPagesURL.html"

this will load the next page.

That's great for reloading the page
but i cannot call the sript like that

ALL i have is a url.. to call which results I have to wait....


I don't know if I can invoke a CALL like a procedure in a code and get the results,

there should be some way to do this call..

something like that wont help

<script type="text" src=htpps://url/cgi-bin...></script>

As I said your question has been ambiguous all along.
if you want to send the values to a cgi script then you must know the cgi applications address,once you do that then u should be able to perform the rest of the task.

MY guess is ( me no CGI expert)
you should be able to do something like this
document.location.href = /cgi-bin/form-process/?value1="+val1+"&value2="+val2;

As I see it, it should then return the results to the same page that actually sent the data.

I hope some CGI expert sees this and get you out of this problem..

cheers

Why not post in the CGI forum?
