I have been trying to get the submit button I created to redirect to a thank you page that I had created however it is not work, It keeps sending me to the index page.
I have read the forum on this topic here: http://virtualmechanics.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1246038591/m/9501074403 and it is still redirecting me to the index. here is a copy of the coding that the submit button runs on now: "<form id="Oform3" name="form3" action="_gdForm/webformmailer.asp " method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html"> <input type="submit" id="Oobj43" class="defform3" name="form1" value="SUBMIT" The information that was provided to me from the hosting company is as follows: <form action="_gdForm/webformmailer.asp" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Submission" /> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="thankyou.html" /> First Name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" /> Last Name :<input type="text" name="LastName" /> Email: <input type="text" name="email" /> Comments: <textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10"> Type comments here.</textarea> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/> <input type="hidden" name="form_order" value="alpha"/> <input type="hidden" name="form_interval" value="hourly"/> <input type="hidden" name="form_format" value="html"/> </form> Now I do not need the subject and to know who is sending the email however I do need it to redirect. The forms are coming through the email with no problems, so I know the function is working for the email. Anrcolbert@rcnetworkinginc.comy help would be most appreciated.. |

Can you post a link to your page with the form? There does not appear to be anything wrong with the excerpt you posted which leads me to think there may be other things causing an error. Your host is GoDaddy?

I was wondering what the outcome of this was, since I have the same problem. I can't redirect my page using GoDaddy's php webformmailer expamples. Whatever is in the URL action, that is the action on submit.
So I designed a thank you on my php page in the meantime. There is no step by step instuctions how to fill out a contact form in Site Spinner from a - z and that is what I need. SiteSpinner forms for Dummys would be a best seller for one of you gurus. |

I would think that the redirect should be happening in the action script (webformmailer.asp). Perhaps there is something in the script that is redirecting to the index page.

The original post of this thread was using an ASP script.
I’m fairly sure, as bisouqhq suggested, GoDaddy uses PHP. That is also surmising that GoDaddy is her (?) web host. It would all depend on what types of scripts your web host provides service for, ASP, PHP or both. In either case, you would need to adjust either script to suit your web host’s requirements. |

I orginally posted this and have been using godaddy servers and if you look in the knowlegde base articles of godaddy under php scripts they actually have an article that creates the fields for you, all you need to do is add it to the html coding.
You will also have to designate the email that you want the php forwarding to be sent to. They do not support this anymore however if you created your hosting there, you should have a gdform.asp that will tie them together. I hope that this helps. Oh ya also do not try to alter the script as it will not work again and they cannot re install it in the directory even though the KB states that they can. Sorry I didn't catch this sooner, for what ever reason I just received the first response on this article today. |
