I have a form that I need some help with. I want to have it so that when the submit button is pressed, an email is sent to me and at the same time, the user is redirected to a Thankyou page. I have tried with little success.

What programming language are you using?

I am not a programmer at all. I have just been trying to find something online that will do this for me. So any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

this will do the trick. some hosts have a special form element that will achieve the same thing (i.e. &lt;input type="hidden" name="end_display" value="www.mysite.com/thanks.html"&gt<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>.

&lt;form name="myForm" action="" method="'' onSubmit="location.href='www.mysite.com/thanks.html'"&gt;
...
&lt;/form&gt;

I also need help with my form...i have attached a mailto behavior to the submit button but nothing comes up in the email! i'm so lost...how can i get the date emailed back to me?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

Best way would be to use some server-side language. But a simple way would be to put 'mailto:&lt;some email address&gt;' in the Action property of the From tag.
Eg. like this:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="mailto: "
</font id=code></pre id=code>

But... the drawback for this method is that the visitors own mail program will be used to send the form information and he/she will be able to prevent sending that info by deleting the email from the Outbox. Then you will never receive a thing.

So... if possible I would definitely go for the server-side solution.

Hope this helps.
