confirmation "sent" page

[5656]

I'm know this is an easy question...but I'm a newbie
I would like to send information inputted by a user to my e-mail account (know how to do this) -- and once they hit the SUBMIT button I would like to send them to another html page -- such as a "thank you" or "confirmation" page.
Isn't there a very simple way to do this ?

Thank you for any help.

you could use a settimeout i guess..

try putting in the form tag:

onsubmit="setTimeout("window.location='page.htm'", 5000)"

this will wait 5 seconds then redirect to page.htm adam@aauser.com

I tried the setTimeout but didn't work.
I've also tried this but no luck: onSubmit="window.location.href=('thankyou.html')"
any other ideas ? I know this is simple and have seen it done...just don't remember correct syntax...

thanks again.

this worked:

<script>
function somefunc()
{
setTimeout(&quot;window.location.href('thankyou2.htm')&quot;,3000)
}
</script>
<FORM onsubmit=&quot;somefunc()&quot; METHOD=&quot;POST&quot; ACTION=&quot;mailto:joe@spyder9.com&quot; ?subject=&quot;request&quot; ENCTYPE=&quot;text/plain&quot;>

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;references&quot; SIZE=&quot;3&quot; MAXLENGTH=&quot;40&quot;>
.
.
.
.
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; NAME=&quot;Submit&quot; VALUE=&quot;submit&quot;>

</FORM> jared@aauser.com

jaredn ~

when I attempt to use that script I get an error message:
window.location.href is not a function.

any ideas ?

 

[luciddream]

change:

setTimeout(&quot;window.location.href('thankyou2.htm')&quot;,3000)


to:

setTimeout(&quot;window.location = 'thankyou2.htm'&quot;,3000)
adam@aauser.com
