confirmation pages

[JW]

I have two forms on my website. The results are sent to an e-mail address;
however, since Yahoo is hosting my site, their server handles this process
differently, so in the form properties dialog box, I had to select "send to
other custom ISAPI, NSAPI, CGI, or ASP script." In doing this, the form
works.

Here is the issue, when the user hits submit, a generic page appears and it
shows, "You submitted the following information..." and it goes on to show
the user what he/she input in the fields. This apparently is Yahoo's generic
confirmation page. I don't like it. I created my own confirmation page and
I need to find out how I can replace their page with my own. I tried making
a hyperlink to the page from the submit button, but it does not work. The
same page still shows up. Please assist.

You will have to ask Yahoo how to use your own Confirmation page, since it
is a Yahoo script that is processing the form data.

This type of script often uses a hidden field similar to: (this is for
BtInternet)
<input type="hidden"
value="http://www.btinternet.com/~username/path/thankyou.htm"
name="redirect" />
but you MUST get the correct details from Yahoo.

Thanks, but Yahoo knows nothing. They said that I needed to edit the code
itself. First off, I don't know where I would edit the code. I have to use
a custom script to send the results to an email address because their servers
process the information differently. In form properties, I selected send to
"custom script" and it is "form method=post
action="http://us.2.p9.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=djw414">
I do not have an option to set a confirmation page because I have to use
their custom script. So, what HTML code can I use to ensure that the form is
sent to the e-mail address and my custom confirmation page shows up? I tried
using the code you sent, with my information of course, and it didn't work.
Maybe I placed the code in the wrong area or I'm not inputting all the right
information. Help.

You can only point to a custom confirmation page if you can modify the script that is processing the
form. If you are not able to modify the Yahoo provided form handler script, then you will not be
able to use a custom confirmation page.
