Help with a pop-up window, please

[laTortuga]

Hello

I have a pop-up window which contains an e.mail form. The pop-up seems to work just fine. When the form is sent, another page appears to thank the user for submitting the form.

This form appears in the pop-up window, whci I don't really want, and wonder what JavaScript code I need to use (in the pop-up window Web page presumably) to load a normal Web page size 'Thank You' page.

That is, how can I break out of the pop-up window and, in fact, make it disappear to give way to a normal size Web 'Thank you' page.

Many thanks for any ideas.

i agree with you that pop-up windows are a bad thing. these days many people surf with pop-up stoppers due to all the ads.

let's see if i've got this straight. you want to replace the page rather than have a pop-up? one page to be replaced by another page which has a form, to be replaced by another page which says thankyou.

the javascript to replace a page is

self.location.replace("xxxx.htm")

so when you want to present the page with the form, replace xxxx.htm with the new page name. then the same for the thankyou page.

Hello Beach Bum

Thank you for your message.

No, not quite.

Imagine you are at a normal web page. You click on a link which says 'Contact' and a pop up window appears which has a form in it. That's fine.

Now, when the visitor completes the form and presses 'Submit', a 'Thank you' page appears, which is also what I want, but it appears in the pop up window, and not as a normal sized Web page. That's not fine.

Do I still use your

self.location.replace("xxxx.htm")?

Many thanks again for your post.
