If this is not the correct newsgroup, please direct me to one better
suited to my request.
I have created a simple online survey (using a form) for a club. For
several reasons we prefer to have the survey results transmitted via
e-mail, to be analyzed by a person rather than a CGI script:
<FORM ID="Club Survey" NAME="Club Survey"
ACTION="mailto: email@host.com" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="text/plain">
or the equivalent. Rather than simply leaving the form in the browser
window after the user clicks the submit button:
<INPUT NAME="Submit Button" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send Survey" >
we would like to have the browser automatically transfer to another page
("Thank you for participating . . .").
That is, in effect we want one button do two things:
1) Submit the results (via e-mail).
2) Transfer to a new page rather than leaving the form visible in the
browser window.
I admit that my knowledge of Javascript is pretty limited--but not
completely zero. A few times I have been able to adapt scripts that are
offered openly for general use on various web sites. But in this case I
can't find any help.
This seems like a natural thing people would want to do. But as far as
I have been able to tell, I must be the first person who has ever
thought of it. There is a choice of (probably) dozens of scripts that
disable the "submit" button after the first click, but nothing at all
that does what I describe above.
I HAVE modified one script into something that works in some browsers
(code provided upon request), but it would be preferable to find
something that works in all of them (at least in both Netscape and
Internet Explorer). I would be grateful for any suggestions or advice,
either to the newsgroup or directly to my e-mail address
