Redirect to a thank you page in a form?

[Charville]

Anyone know how to redirect someone after they submit on a form to a thankyou page? Easy stuff for most of you out there...I have learned so much from this site!

The only reliable way to do this is server side (which is ok, because that is the only reliable way to get the forms contents, as well)

Thanks...the code goes like this:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://home.rcs.net/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Survey">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="info@summner.com">
<input type=hidden name="bgcolor" value="#FFEFDF">
<input type=hidden name="required" value="Name,Email">
<input type=hidden name="title" value="Thank you for filling out this form">
<input type="hidden" name="env_report"value="remote_host">

:p

Typically one would use PHP assuming your server gives you PHP functionality.

Also, FormMail is know for it's insecurities. I would highly recommend NOT using it. Switch to something that doesn't allow you to set the address right in your form as a hidden field. Set up right in the script. The problem with setting it as a hidden form field is that people can easily use it to send spam...

Thanks so much for your help. It is good to know about the email on the forms. Would it work if I just type in the HTML: skipper@hotmail.com? Which would look like skipper@hotmail.com.

oops...maybe this will work "skipper+&+#+64+;hotmail.com" which would look like skipper@hotmail.com on the web page.
