Hello guys!

I'm wondering if someone resourceful here may know this or not...

I have a newsletter opt-in page that also has a pull down menu. The pull down menu should determine what the "landing page" they go to after they opt in.

The problem is that this form submits to my autoresponder service (server I have no access to) first and I have no way of extracting that pull-down variable to force them to land at the correct page.

The other solution is to send them via an intermediate page where the you force the data at the autoresponder form and send them to the right page.

But how do you force submit data? I'd rather not use Javascript force submit since some may turn it off right?

Thanks for any help one may provide!

the best bet is Javascript, use onchange? To the page www.yourserver.com/thispage.php?thisvar=somevar. Then load somevar into a switch statement and cover it from there.

Rafiki,

Do you think the % of browsers who turn off Javascript is negligible? That's my only fear with that approach.

Thanks!
