Email submit form - success message no redirect

**seethesun** · Feb 26th, 2009, 4:18 pm

I am pretty sure I have seen this before, but don't know how to do it.

I want to have a form (email and name). When the person hits submit it just brings up a success message (they don't leave the page), maybe under the submit button or just in place of the form entirely. I don't want them leaving the page. Not even refreshed.

The other option I would want is for it to send them to the "success" page and be redirected back to the page they were initially at. But the form will be on multiple pages...is it possible to change the redirect dynamically based on the original page?

Thanks.

AJAX could do this. Or javascript "DIV".

Here is an example of a Javascript DIV solution:

Put this code within the <head></head> tags.

Code:

//in the head section
<script type="text/javascript">
function showit(){
document.getElementById('success').style.visibility = 'visible';
}
</script>

Put this code where you want the success message to appear (and change success message as appropriate.

Code:

<div id="success" style="visibility: visible">SUCCESS MESSAGE HERE</div>

Then place this code within the "submit" tag:

Code:

onsubmit="showit"

//OR

onclick="showit"

Hope this helps,
Josh.

Thanks Josh. That was simple enough.

I do have another question that you might be able to help me with. I have been searching, but haven't found an answer.

I am going to have a form (actually a poll) on my site. I am trying to figure out how to send someone to the "thank you" page and based on their answer, redirect them from the "thank you" page to a different page. And have the link (click here if are you aren't redirected in 5 seconds) to change as well

For instance....

Do you prefer

A
B
C

Regardless of answer they are sent to "thankyou.html", then thankyou.html forwards them to www.A.com, www.B.com, or www.C.com depending on whichever they chose in the form.

Is that possible?

I think I figured out how to do it without the thank you page so that when they click submit they are automatically sent to the page based on their answer, but would prefer to keep the thank you page in the mix.

This is that code:

Code:

<form action = "<%= "SCRIPT"%>" method="post"> 
<input type = "radio" name = "page" value = "home" checked>home<br> 
<input type = "radio" name = "page" value = "tutorials">tutorials<br> 
<input type = "radio" name = "page" value = "downloads">downloads<br> 
<input type = "submit" value = "go"> 
</form> 
<% 
'get the users selection from the form 
strURL = Request.Form("page") 
'depending on the users selection redirect to that page 
Select Case lcase(strURL) 
Case "home" 
Response.Redirect "index.php" 
Case "tutorials" 
Response.Redirect "tutorials.php" 
Case "downloads" 
Response.Redirect "downloads.php" 
End Select 
%>

Thanks for any help.

i doubt bro you have answered yourself, or you did not clearly wrote what you want to do .. is it not redirecting? also try to use full page path .. not only script name "tutorials.php" . use http://www.site.com/tutorials.php it will be helpful if page is on other website not on yours.

Another thing, above code is asp code. and your are redirecting to php files then i guess files are on other website right?
