Form question and pop-under question
26 Apr 2003 22:33:47 Rob Toth posted:
I have a few questions to fire through here. QUESTION #1:
I need to create a form that will take an e-mail address and submit it to me (via e-mail is fine... don't have to involve databases, etc).
Now the thing is, I don't want to use the basic (set submit's action to my e-mail address) because a pop-up window comes up saying "You are about to submit this form with an unsecure... blah blah". It doesn't look even remotely professional. I also don't want to use somebody else's cgi script linked code because then the page after the SUBMIT is so other guy's ad with a Thank You.
Basically here is what I would like:
- the text sent to my e-mail address
- no pop-ups, warnings or other junk
- the page after SUBMIT is pressed is controlled by me
- can I have a reference as well? that would be great.
In that last point I mean, let's say I have 3 pages all with the same identical submit button... they all get delivered to the same address... but when I receive the contents, there should be a refered from or submitted from section on my end.
What about page delays. After SUBMIT is pressed, can I send them to a "Thank you for... blabh blah... please wait.. you are now being forwarded to blabh blabh" and then delay the page for let's say 4 seconds and fire them right to the next URL.
Any help would be amazing.
QUESTION #2:
Also pop-unders. On a different page, I would like a pop-under (not a pop-up) to be displayed when the page loads. The pop-under would be an already existing webpage that I choose. Any help.
QUESTION #3:
Okay... sorry... I've got a third quick one. I have yet anther page which contains "resource links, etc". Some, of course, are affiliate links. How can I have the status bar (at the bottom of the browser) display just the link rather than the true affiliate URL. I heard that Java scripts to this.
Thanks.

Ha! You rule.
That's perfect.
I haven't read through them yet (it's 11pm and I need to be up in 6 hours)... but I'll do so tomorrow morning. I'll get back to you and tell you how it all went.
Again, thanks...
