hey, I was wondering how you can attach multiple actions to one button. WHat I want to do is to have a form email me and also contiune to a next page, I have the emailing part but how would you do the other part?

thanks, THROIG

Well if you are using a server side language to email the form information then you'd just add the appropriate command to redirect the page.

If you are using the mailto: in the action attribute of the form, you could use javascript and do a location.href="mypage.xxx"

You should really read here before you start another topic :) http://www.codingforums.com/postguide.htm
<form action="mailto:blah@de.blah" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name"> Name<br />
<textarea cols="30" rows="5" name="msg"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Email me!" onclick="document.location='nextpage.html'; />
</form>

off the top of my head, ain't used a form like that for about 4 years

Hrmm...IMO it'd seem you don't know very much about html so I suggesst having a look at www.w3schools.com/html , that is a good tutorial and W3 Schools is recommended by most everyone here.

Well, just saying it's not a .html page doesn't really help much. Whatever...Just change the extension to whatever page it is.

Example:

INDEX.htm
INDEX.php
INDEX.asp

...and pay attention to those quotation marks. They're verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry important. :cool:
