confirmation page for a form

M

Mary Clayton

I designed a page with a form, wanting to use the default confirmation page,
so under "options", I left the confirmation page blank, as directed.

Now, when someone fills out the form and hits the submit button, instead of
taking the user to the default confirmation page, a new window opens that is
the exact same page that they were on!

Here's the page address:
http://www2.fultonschools.org/dept/assistivetech/Alphasmart 3000 for PLU.asp

Not only is the user not getting a confirmation page, but I'm not getting
any results! I specified that the results should go into the private folder,
but I'm not getting anything.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Remove: target="_blank
from your form tag.
Do not use spaces in file or foldernames. You can replace them with
underscores instead.
And remember that the spacebar isn't a design tool.

I thought I set up form properties. I right clicked and chose to have the
results sent to the "Private folder" (csv file). I also left confirmation
page address blank, in order to use the default confirmation page. I am still
confused.
Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help

Personally, I would make my own confirmation page. If you like , you can
have any of the form fields inserted on your conformation page by: Insert |
Web Component | Advanced Controls | Conformation Field. When asked, insert
the name of the form field you want to use.

Example:
"Thank you [Name] for taking the time to fill out this form."

The "Name" is automatically inserted from the form field (called Name) into
the conformation page. The form field has to be spelled correctly using the
correct "case" (capitals or not) to work.

Your form action is still: action="Alphasmart%203000%20for%20PLU.asp
which will redisplay the same page (unless your server side script is doing something else)
- remove all spaces from file names
