When you create a form and the user submits it, you can have a confirmation page, either generic or make your own.
I made my own, however i want it to open in a pop up window, which the user has to close.
How do i do this in frontpage 2003?
thanks

Hi Jerry,

When you open form properties you will see a place to select a Target frame. It appears near the bottom. This will do the trick I believe.

My personal preference is to open the form in a new windw. Then I create a custom confirmation page with a close button. When they close the window, they are back where they started.

The above will work when you are using the FrontPage form handler on a .htm or .html page in conjunction with working extensions.

Since you posted your question in the ASP category, however, you may need to utilize redirect instead of FP form properties.

AMysticWeb is right. This isn't really an ASP question: it's an HTML one.

The problem with what you want to do has nothing to do with coding it...it has to do with people wanting to block it. Between Firefox and all of the toolbars available with popup blockers (with varying degrees of sensitivity), you'll probably lose at least 30-40% of the people trying to fill out your form.

You're better off just giving them a confirmation page in its own window, with a link back somewhere (like to the home page) so that the user can continue on his/her merry little way.

if form is being submitted to another page then in the action part of the form where your stating the page add target="_blank"

in the target page add some javascript to fix the size of the window
