George Fox University | Offices and Services | Institutional Technology | Thanking the User

By including another "hidden" tag in the form, you can send the user to a specially constructed webpage that can thank them for filling out your form, or give them additional information, ie "Your vacation tickets will be mailed to you within 24 hours..."

<form method="post" action="https://scripts.georgefox.edu/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" name="example5">

<input type="hidden" name="recipient" value="bweldon@georgefox.edu">

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.georgefox.edu/eform/thanks.html">

Send my free ticket...<br>

<input type="checkbox" name="send-24hrs" value="yes" checked>within 24 hours<br>

<br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><input type="reset" name="reset" value="reset">

</form>

1. TYPE - when set to "hidden", the hard-coded name/value pair will be passed to the script and acted upon, but there will be no indication on the webpage.
2. NAME - use a value of "redirect" to cause the web server to "serve up" a custom designed webpage of your choice.
3. VALUE - this is the full path of the returning webpage.
