I am not a pro and I need help with form results

[alley2006]

I am a beginner and I've been going crazy trying to find 2 things for my forms:
1 - I want my forms to do the same thing that this forum does when you register or login...I want a "thank you" or "welcome" page where the data I put in the form are used to greet and verify the input. "Welcome Alley2006 we just sent you an e-mail at you@ you.com", etc.I could do that easily with front page but now I'm using dreamweaver and it is more complex to figure out.
2 - I would also like to have a something like on this website www.namesdatabase.com. There is a form and not only it has pop-ups with error messages but at the end there is a pop-up that asks you to confirm the data you input (it lists the data) and then click OK or Cancel. I looked for a javascript with this function everywhere.
I copied and pasted the code and tried to modify it to fit my forms but it didn't work.
HELP!! Thank you...

And what server side language are you using?

[alley2006]

Good question...I have a linux pachage at 1and1.com
It supports pretty much everything...

The "pop-ups" you are talking about aren't really pop-ups, they're so-called alert boxes, to trigger one is by:

alert("Text in here");
Your first point cannot be done with JavaScript, though... :(

[alley2006]

Yeah...the alert boxes :)
the code you gave me goes in the head or body?
and how do I have the alert box display the form input data?

If the 1st point cannot be done with JavaScript, then how :( ?

Thank you for your help

[FromU2ME]

You'll need to send the code so that I would know where to put the alert code...

And what server side language are you using?Use a server-side script for the second task (PHP, ASP, JSP, CGI...).

[alley2006]

send you what code? my form?

I've been looking for a server-side script for that function
but I can't find it...

[FromU2ME]

Your form would be nice, yes :D

[alley2006]

Sorry I'm just a beginner...you need to be patient with me :p
Right now there's a alert box that only says that the data has been submitted successfully...but I need the details in it..

You should put it in the <form>-tag onsubmit="alert('Text');".

I also noticed that your submit button contains another script:

<input name="Submit" type="submit" onClick="MM_callJS('processMyForm()')" value="Submit">What does this do (have the code for that as well)?

--EDIT
I'll be back tomorrow.

[alley2006]

yes that script calls a alert box that says "the data has been submitted...etc."

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function processMyForm(){
alert('Thank you! You data has been sent successfully.');
}
<!--
function MM_callJS(jsStr) { //v2.0
return eval(jsStr)
}
//-->
</script>

Try changing the type to "button" instead of "submit".

the problem is not this script...that works...what I am trying to find out if I can do these 2 things:
1 - I want my forms to do the same thing that this forum does when you register or login...I want a "thank you" or "welcome" page where the data I put in the form are used to greet and verify the input.
