I am having a redirect problem.

I have JavaScript checking for empty required fields, that part works. Once the fields have been filled in, it's sending me an e-mail with the filled in fields, that part works also. It's the redirecting to another page that is the issue.

The problem I'm having is if the form is missing a field, it notifies me but then once I click the "OK" button, it redirects me instead of leaving it on the same registration page.

Here's the redirect code:
<input type=hidden name="redirect" value "http://website.ThankYou.html">

How do I make it stay on the registration page until all the necessary fields are satisfied? Should I be using something else, other than the redirect?

Thank you for your help, in advance,
Peggy

Hi Peggy...

I don't really want to re-invent the wheel here, so this is what you should do (and I'm sure that you will be able to find your answer):

Go the the Javascript forum here.
Towards the bottom of the page is an area that says:
Search this Forum:
In the text box type:
form validation

That should get you about 75 threads (many of which probably address your need almost exactly).

If - after looking through all of those threads - you are still having trouble...
post your new question in that forum, and someone will be able to help you figure it out.

Good luck.
;) k
