HTML - Form Action

Hey guys I am making a application form for my website and I have a few questions...

After the application is complete and they hit Submit I want a message to come up and say "Thank you for the application" Then it clears all the text boxes etc to default so they know that the application is complete. How do I get that happening?

Also I want the application to go to my email however I do not want the application to open a email form, at the moment I have got Code:

<form action="MAILTO:contact@xin-gaming.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

but that opens up an email form so that they send it as if it was an email which I don't want. I want it to send it to my email but without the applicant knowing that it's going to my email. Sorry for the confusion ><

Thank you in advance

ooh, its been a long time since i had to ask a question in here.

i have a form that just wants to redirect to the home page, no matter what the action is.
HTML Code:

<form id="contactForm" method="post" action="index.phtml?file=contact.phtml" enctype="multipart/form-data">
          <input class="input" name="contact_name" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Name:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'Name:' }" value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_name']) && $_POST['contact_name']) ? $_POST['contact_name'] : 'Name:'; ?>" />
          <input class="input" name="contact_phone" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Phone:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'Phone:' }"  value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_phone'])) ? $_POST['contact_phone']: 'Phone:'; ?>" />
          <input class="input" name="contact_email" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'E-Mail:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'E-Mail:' }"  value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_email'])) ? $_POST['contact_email']: 'E-Mail:'; ?>" />
          <textarea name="contact_message" cols="1" rows="1" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Message:') { this.value = ''; }"  onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message:'"  /><?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_message'])) ? $_POST['contact_message'] : 'Message:'; ?></textarea>
          <a href="#" class="right link1" onclick="document.getElementById('contactForm').submit()">Send</a>
          <a href="#" class="right link1" onclick="document.getElementById('contactForm').reset()">Clear</a>
          <input name="ContactSubmit" type="hidden" />
      </form>

and its not submitting.

i think i messed up the link submits, what url shoudl be in there, when i put in index.phtml?file=contact.phtml it stays on the page but doesnt process.

also, is the enctype correct for this type of post?

also my doc type is xhtml strict, but i am going to have to satisfy a couple errors as far as that is concerned as well, its complaining about Quote:
document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
when i change the action even to itself which is /contact.phtml it still redirects to the home page.

i have to ask it, what obvious fundamental have i forgotton?

EDIT,
ok it must be in the link submits, when i delete the href tag out of it completely, it seems to be processing. i cant figure out why the # sign was in there, whats supposed to be there for a link submit? i trued a url and that didnt work right

I''m making a form with three input bars. When the user presses "submit", the contents of the three inputs is put together in a string, which is then sent to a CGI program.

Is there any way to add arbitrary text to that string - whether before or after the stuff gathered from the form's inputs - so that my CGI program can know which form called it?

Hey guys. This is my coding, below, for a form on my site. It's just the default white color (and is too bright for my site's color scheme). Is there any way I can change the color to grey or something else??

THanks in advance!!

<form action="http://www.xxx.com/xxx/xxx/xxx.php?group=2" method="post">
<div align="center" style="height:30px;"><font size="1px" color="999999" face="Arial"><b>enter your email address and your info will be emailed to you</b></font></div><div align="center" style="height:30px;"><input name="email" value=" " /></div><div align="center"><input type="image" src="buttons.jpg" size="25" value="Find password" /></div>
</form>

ok....i have a htm form that has fields that do a get to a aspx datagrid page. this is done in the action part of the form. i set in the form to target a new winodw but how can i have that new window open with no browser menu?
i have googled and found ways to do this in the input onclick but either im setting it wrong or it will not work with the get action

Code:

<form name="Form1" method="get" action="../lookup/phydatagrid.aspx?tablename=physicians" onsubmit="return validateZIP(this.zipcode.value, this.radius.value, this.name)" target="_blank">

I have a HTML form that truncates the action parameter after the "?" mark - which is NOT the desired behavior I am looking for. I simply want to open the referenced URL within the same viewport.

Here is a representative HTML snippet:
HTML Code:

<form action="http://www.spufalcons.com/index.aspx?tab=gymnastics&path=gym">  
<input type="submit" value="Gymnastics"/>
</form>

In this case, the submit button takes you to the "http://www.spufalcons.com/index.aspx" page, effectively ignoring "?tab=gymnastics&path=gym" parameter. It appears that URL's using HTML and PHP pages referenced in the action=URL work as expected BUT (alas) this is not the case when the target page contains index.aspx. This behavior is consistent across all major browsers (IE, FF, Safari, Chrome, Opera).

Has anyone seen this problem before? Or can suggest an alternative and/or workaround consistent with my "pure" CSS/HTML/PHP web development approach? I have tried replacing the special characters with HTML entity values with no impact. I REALLY don't want to use abandon my CSS-styled submit buttons by using Javascript or button PNG's or image maps.

Environment:
Web Server: Apache 2.2.14
PHP: 5.2.10
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8
HTML document info: HTML Code:

        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Hi all,

I have a query that I hope somebody can help with as my site has been brought to a standstill because of this problem.
I have just posted the new version of my site online and I have a folder below the domain root which contains things like database info, form scripts etc.

When I process the form I get a 404 error. the action is something like

HTML Code:

action="../includes/process_form.php"

There is no need to any output from these files as they process the information and direct to the relevant files above the domain root using php header scripts.

At the beginning of most of my files I have the following
PHP Code:
<?php
$security = 'secure';
require('../includes/default.php');
require('../includes/error_handlers.php');
require('../includes/db.php');
?>

and there is no problem with these whatsoever.
I had all of the scripts working fine when I tested them at
domainroot.co.uk/take2/public/
domainroot.co.uk/take2/includes/

Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening

Any help would be appreciated

So, I'm building a homepage and recently exported a button created in fireworks. When I open the file in it's own window and view it works great, actions and all. However, when I insert the fireworks html file into what I've coded already for the homepage the image shows up but without actions. The javascript code was not inserted. I understand that the javascript code must be present for the rollover actions to occur but don't understand why this wouldn't be inserted when I insert the fireworks html file. Can someone clarify this for me. Must I copy this code over manually from the other html file and paste in the homepage file for it to work? I've never run into this problem before. Thanks for the help...

Hello,

I'm sure there is a foolishly easy solution for the following, but I don't know it!
I have been toiling with this for a while with several different ways and searching google now for several hours. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here? The background is: I like how I can use a combobox to make a selection and then it automatically submits (without using a "submit" button). The following snippet of code works, except it only submits "region". (The result is something like 'www.host.com/search.php?region=1' and I would like to see 'www.host.com/search.php?order=1&region=1&per=1'.)

<form name="cmboRegion" method="GET" action="search.php?order=1 &amp;region=document.cmboRegion.region.value&amp;per=1">
<select name="region" onchange=cmboRegion.submit()>
<option value=0 selected="selected" >U.S.</option>
<option value=1>World</option>
</select>
</form>

Thank you very much in advance...
And the little hair I that haven't pulled out, thanks you too!

(side note: ComboBox = Drop Down Menu)

Hi Experts,

I have a form that is used to collect member information. After the members inputs the info and hits submit button it should redirect them to a Merchant site. Is it possible to have a dual action SUBMIT button on a form. For ex:

Action -1) When the user clicks on a SUBMIT button the data gets saved to the database (which it does right now)

Action -2) And at the same time redirect the user to merchant HTTPS Site for online payment processing .- How do I do this??

I want to incorporate the below code into the submit button as a secondary action.

Code:

<form action="https://www.myvirtualmerchant.com/VirtualMerchant/process.do" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_merchant_id" value="my_virtualmerchant_ID">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_user_id" value="my_User_ID">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_pin" value="my_PIN">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_show_form" value="true">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_test_mode" value="false">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_invoice_number" value="???? PASS INVOICE">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_transaction_type" value="ccsale">
<input type="hidden" name="ssl_amount" value="???????? PASS TOTAL $$$">
<input type="submit" value="Click Here to Complete Your Order - USE FORM BUTTOM">
</form>

I would like to use one SUBMIT button for both actions. Thanks in advance for your help.
