We can not help without seeing the markup. It may not even be an HTML or CSS issue.

question for you:Originally posted by ghostrider
What actions do you have for your submit button.
Are you emailing the info or is it going into a db. (database)
what part are you having problems are.
click the submit button then it redirect you to the thank you page.
What languages are you using html and php?

I'm using html. I would like for it to say thank you when it is done. If I understand it correctly I need to save it as a link that the button points to right, so when it is clicked it will know to open that link?Originally posted by nomadComment

You are some what right..Originally posted by ghostrider
When you click the submit button it does two things.
1. send the info the client input ie email, db
2. then it redirect to a thank you page.
Might look like this on your php page
nomadCode:// send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankscontact.htm\">"; } else{ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">"; }Comment

Your basic problem is this that you are not sending the data anywhere. This is an example of what the first line should look like.
[CODE=html]<form name="Some Name" method="POST" action="some_se rver_side_scrip t.pl">[/CODE]
You will need a server-side language to achieve what you want. Therefore, this is not an HTML or CSS issue.
