Thanks for getting me in the right forum - LadnRed.

New to building websites and want to add a contact form to the website I am building. Host with godaddy and want to use the cgi script. I am able to build the form using my editor, and I want the form to redirect back to my thank you page. (Did read godaddy's instructions) - as I said, I am new. Any help would really be appreciated. This is sample of what I am doing to redirect to my thankyou page:

<form name="contact" method="post" action="action=http://sample.com/cgi/gdform.cgi " onSubmit="return requiredata();">
<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="info@sample.com"/>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="Contact "
/>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="redirect" VALUE="http://sample.com/S_000012.htm" />

I can't seem to get the redirect to work. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks so much for responding. I did review the article and created the form as instructed. Uploaded to web site. It appears to be how I am coding the redirect. The value is the name of the web page of the site - however, when it's inputted, the viewer is returned to the gdform cgi script with an error message. I think this is where I am confused.

Since I am sending back to a page inside the web site - I am not sure how to code the redirect so that it goes directly back to site. Note: With this editor the thankyou page changes to the editors value like: g_00012.htm

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I like the form and it fits my needs.

name="redirect"
value="http://www.yoursite.com/blabla_0000xx.htm"
(where blabla_0000xx.htm is a "thank you" page)

Thank you.
