confirmation page

[Deb]

When my form is submitted the confirmation page that shows
is the "default" confirmation page, I have not indicated
that I wanted this - and when you select "return to
form" my personal confirmation page appears without the
data fields being populated with the submitted information.

How do I delete the "default" confirmation page and have
my page prompt when the submit button is clicked

thanks
Deb

The default confirmation page has no physical presence;
the Save Results component creates it on the fly.

How did you configure your personal confirmation page? For
example, did you:
1. Right-click the form, and then choose From Properties.
2. Click the Options button.
3. Enter the URL of your personal confirmation page in
a box titled, "URL of Conformation Page (Optional)".

Are you chaining together multiple confirmation pages
and/or forms in some way? For example, are you making one
confirmation page submit information to a second form?
(Typically, you would do this because you want to send
mail to two addresses, or because you want to save
information to a database as well as saving it in a file
or sending it as mail.)

ohh I had this same question (different deb) I've been trying to find the default page to edit it
so can I make a "new page" saying thankyou etc and just link it to the 3 different information request pages in my site and that will show instead of the default conf. page?

You can't edit the default confirmation page directly, because it
doesn't exist. The Save Results component creates the entire page in
memory, and then throws it away each time.

You can, however, create a custom confirmation page from scratch. To
do this:

1. Open a new, empty Web page and format it any way you want.
2. Set the insertion point where you want the first form field
value to appear.
3. Choose Web Component from the Insert menu, then Advanced Controls,
then Confirmation Field.
4. When the Confirmation Field Properties dialog box appears,
enter the nameof the form field you want to display.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each additional form field.
7. Save the page in your Web.

To make the Save Results component use your custom confirmation page:

1. Open the page that contains the form.
2. Right-click the form area, choose Properties, click Options,
and select the Confirmation Page tab.
3. In the box titled URL Of Confirmation Page, enter the
file name from step 7 above.
4. Click OK to close all open dialog boxes, then save the
page and test (using, of course, an http:// URL).

Yes I did the steps mentioned - I have never had this
problem before.

No - I have it set up so the results are emailed to one
address -

 

[Deb the other one]

yes - you just need to insert the data field name (exactly
as reflective in your form) and under the form properties
tab - confirmation page you insert the URL of the page---
but mine is still showing the default page-

That's really weird. This advice is rather generic, but try
removing the specification for your custom confirmation page,
saving the form page, and then testing whether the form operates
normally. If not, pursue that problem.

Once the page is working normally, try respecifying your custom
confirmation page, then saving and testing.

Recalculating hyperlinks and running Server Health probably
wouldn't hurt either.
