HTML - Default Submit Button On Form

Hello All!

I am a newbie to HTML and am having the most troubling time getting my submit button on my form to redirect to another webpage. I have been reading (searching) through previous posts on this issue but none solved my problem. I am really hoping someone can offer some help so let me explain my issue exacly.

I have a simple form on my "Contact Us" page with a few fields and a [Submit]button. After the form is filled out and the [Submit] button is pressed, I would like it to re-direct to a "Thank-You" page I created. Below is my code:

<form action="gdform.asp" method="post" name="contact_us" id="contact_us" target="cont">
<input name="submit" type="image" value="submit" src="images/Submit.gif">

If I take target="cont" out, it redirects to the home page. I have been trying to figure this out for so long now and searching online with no luck.

Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Thanks!

I have created a button which is linked to some JavaScript to dim the screen when it is pressed. using CSS I have changed the image of the button using a graphic. The graphic is a .PNG as it uses transparency but when set the image as the button it has lost all transparency is there anyway to enable the transparency of the .PNG this is the code I am using to do it.

Code:

<input type="button" onClick="d()" class="button">

On as in pre-selected when a page loads...

I am creating a website that has a search button with an image. I would like to know if there is some simple code that I can include that would display the same basic image with a different color when the user mouses over the button.

Here is the code:

<FORM name="searchform"
onSubmit="return validateSearch();"
METHOD="POST"
ACTION="search_results_lt.asp">

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search" VALUE="" SIZE="20" >&nbsp;

<INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="images/search_button.gif" Name="SearchButton" Value="Submit">

</FORM>

Thanks for your help,

How can I restrict form submission to only the Submit button? I find the forms can be submitted also by the user pressing the "enter" or the "return" key (Users typically use IE or Firefox) By a mouseover the "Submit" button, a final check of data integrity is done as follows....

<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit Form" onmouseover="validate(personal_SS.value,personal_SS.id,personal_lastname.value,personal_lastname.id, personal_firstname.value,personal_firstname.id,personal_Birthdate.value,personal_Birthdate.id)"> <INPUT type="reset" value="Clear form"> Data is 128 bit SSL encrypted

function validate(strngSS,x,strngLN,y,strngFN,z,strngBD,w)
{

if (strngSS== "") {alert("You didn't enter a Social Security Number.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
if ((strngSS.length < 9) || (strngSS.length > 9)) {alert("The Social Security Number is the wrong length. Just use numbers, no dashes... like 123456789 not " + strngSS);
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
var illegalChars = /\W\#/;
if (illegalChars.test(strngSS)) {alert( "The Social Security Number contains illegal characters. Just use numbers, no dashes or # signs.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
}
}
validateLN(strngLN,y)
validateFN(strngFN,z)
validateBD(strngBD,w)
}

function validateLN(strng,x)
{

if (strng== "") {alert("You didn't enter a Last Name.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
if ((strng.length < 3) || (strng.length > 15)) {alert("The Last Name is the wrong length. Just use letters, no dashes... " + strng);
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
var illegalChars = /\W\#/;
if (illegalChars.test(strng)) {alert( "The Last Name contains illegal characters. Just use letters, no dashes or spaces.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
}
}
}


function validateFN(strng,x)
{

if (strng== "") {alert("You didn't enter a First Name.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
if ((strng.length < 2) || (strng.length > 12)) {alert("The First Name is the wrong length. Just use letters, no dashes... " + strng);
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
else
{
var illegalChars = /\W\#/;
if (illegalChars.test(strng)) {alert( "The First Name contains illegal characters. Just use letters, no dashes or spaces.");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;

}
}
}
}

function validateBD(strng,x)
{

if (strng=="") {alert("Please enter a valid Birthdate");
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;
}
else
{
if ((strng.length<8) || (strng.length>8)) {alert("Please enter your Birthdate in the form mm/dd/yy, not " + strng);
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;
}
else
{
var illegalChars=/[\-\.\m\,\ ]/;
if (illegalChars.test(strng)) {alert("The Birtdate contains illegal characters, use the format mm/dd/yy, not " + strng);
document.ReturnPatientEntry.x.focus();
return;
}
}
}
}


I know the coding is primitive, but it works. If the "Clear form" button is pressed, multiple consecutive error messages are tripped as the form is cleared. Can I suppress this as well?

I was just curious when I make a form element, if there is a default name that is set to that form if I do not use the "name=" attribute".

Hi All

its been quite some time since i have hand coded anything and i am having some probs with a form i am using.. i want to use my own image for the button instead of the default.. can someone let me know how this code should look to use my own image.. any help would be much appreciated

Code:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><input type="text" name="loginusername" accesskey="u" tabindex="1"></td>
    <td style="padding-left: 5px;"><input type="password" name="loginpassword" value="" accesskey="p" tabindex="2"></td>
    <td style="padding-left: 5px;"><input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" accesskey="l" tabindex="3"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="loginusername" style="padding-top: 3px;">Username</td>
    <td class="loginpassword" colspan="2" style="padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 3px;">Password</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

This is a problem that i driving me crazy. I have this forms on my website that people can use to post comments. They have one textarea that they should write their name in and another that they should write their comment. I try to make the default text "Namn" and "Kommentar", but only "Namn" is showing in firefox. The weird thing is though, that if I change places between the two textareas, both are showing fine. I provide the site with the source code, and for a quicker check, the code for the two textareas.

<textarea name="db_comment_namn" type="text" value="Namn" rows="1" cols="15" style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: Bold; font-style: Italic; border: 1px inset #CCCCCC; padding: 1px;">Namn</textarea>
<textarea name="db_comment_kommentar" type="text" value="Kommentar" rows="1" cols="50" style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: Bold; font-style: Italic; border: 1px inset #CCCCCC; padding: 1px;">Kommentar</textarea>

Ahh this will probably be an easy question for someone to answer and I feel silly asking it.

But anyways, I am integrating a site with php and I am not as fluent in html as the former. I need to just have a text that says login and not the actual button. Here is what I have been using <input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="<?php _e('Register'); ?>" /> , how would I get it to just be text?

Thanks for answering noob questions

i am trying to incorporate a simple submit button with a pop-up window. i am struggling because i can get one or the other to work properly, but not both: popup and submit. any ideas would be greatly appreciated! here's what i'm looking at.

</div>
</fieldset>
<a href="http://www.mycotorra.com/images/almostfinished.png" id="mc_embed_close" class="mc_embed_close" style="display: none;">Close</a>
<div style="z-index: 1; width: 160px; height: 42px; position: absolute; top: 70px; left: -96px">
<input type="image" value="Subscribe" name="Sign up now" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="style81" style="clear: both;display: block; margin-right: 0;" height="44" src="http://www.mycotorra.com/images/sign%20up%20now%20button.png" width="162"></div>

Hi guys,

I have a drop down box via the <select> tag and then a submit button next to it.

I want it so that if the drop-down shows "page 1" or something and then you hit "submit" it links to page 1. Same for "page 2" etc..

Is this possible, and how can I do it please!

Thank you for any replies posted!

HI this is the coding im using for my submit button


<form method="post" action="mailto:robertjones@redes.co.uk?SUBJECT"?body=(bodystuff)" =User name/Pass"> <input type="submit".....

the task i want it to do is open the email client and put the body as an attachment or in the email text space but after the person filling it out clicks submit all they see is a screen saying "your Feedback form has been submitted, Thank you for your time"

When you type your email address into the text field and press submit, nothing happens. Here is my form code. I think everything is right on the database side... I didn't write it, or this, but I need to fix it xD I think the code was written in frontpage (I'm a notepad coder, myself), so there's some garbage in there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sondra

Code:

<form method="POST" name="e-newsletter" action="../librarynews-submit.asp">

<input type="checkbox" name="teen" value="yes">Check this box if you would also like to subscribe to the QPL Teen Newsletter.
</p>
<!--<p><select size="1" name="Interest" multiple>
<option selected>General</option>
<option>Children's Activities</option>
<option>Teen Events</option>

I have the following code but the images do not swap:
Quote:
<input type="image" name="action" value="Submit" src="{site_url}images/submit_a.gif" class="Button" onMouseOver="document.submit_form.src='{site_url}images/submit_b.gif'; return true;" onMouseOut="document.submit_form.src='{site_url}images/submit_a.gif'; return true;" >
The {site_url} replaces the site domain name. I have confirmed the the images exist. Any ideas?
