multipe action form?
Hey all.
right now i have one of those splash pages.. that says please enter your email here to be notified of launch date...
now in that form i have the action="mailto:[email protected]"
soo... how can i also direct the page to go somewhere else after i hit submit..
before i could do it with action="newpage.html"
without using perl or php (we don't have php at work)
what i mean is after they hit submit.. the browser takes you to a page that says.. thanks and bla bla bla..
thx.

Without using PERL, I don't believe this can be accomplished. However, check with your ISP to see if they offer a form processing script such as formmail (http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/)
Good luck,

I agree with Brian, check with your host what formmail scripts they offer for form processing then you would have something like this
form method=POST action=http://home.com/cgi-bin/mailto:[email protected]
and you could use this to redirect to a new page
INPUT TYPE=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/thanks.html"

If you absolutely can't use any PERL PHP ect then I would use the following in some way to get your result:
I know this would call a function when the user submits a form and not after it opens the mail program but i bet you could use this or write a function using mailform.submit() I would still suggest using something like what is offered at http://www.bigbiz.com/forms.html
Good Luck! Adios!

allright this code send the form automatically & then takes me to the specified home page...
http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm worked!"
>
<script>
document.mailform.submit();
document.location.href="http://www.ericphelps.com/";
</script>
Is there a way that i can alter it that it waits for me to acutally hit the send button because right now as soon as you enter the page it sends the form.. so basically the form is empty.

I haven't tested it but I think the below is correct syntax. Let me know.
<html><head>
<script language="Javascript">
function SubmitMyForm() {
document.mailform.submit();
document.location.href="http://www.ericphelps.com/";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form
name="mailform"
action="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Email form test"
method="post"
enctype="text/plain"
>
<input
type="hidden"
name="body"
value="The HTML code at <a href="http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm" class="bb-url">http://www.ericphelps.com/scripting/email/index.htm</a> worked!"
/>
<input type="button" name="submitbutton" value="Submit The Form!" onclick="SubmitMyForm();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
That's it I think!
