I'm just a beginner and I'm using the "form.html" and "form_ac.asp" code on my Fasthosts server which works fine but I'd like to have it return to a "Thanks.html" page after the submit button is pressed instead of the "email has been sent" message. What do I have to add to achieve this.
Thanks
Carol Harmond

The code I'm using is as follows:-

XML

<%@ Language="VBscript" %>
<% Option Explicit %>

<html>
<head>
<title>Message Sent</title>
</head>

<body>
<%
'declare the variables that will receive the values
'receive the values sent from the form and assign them to variables
'note that request.form("name") will receive the value entered into the textfield
'called name, and so with email and message
Dim name, email, rin, message, NewMailObj
name=request.form("name")
email=request.form("email")
rin=request.form("rin")
message=request.form("message")

'create the mail object and send the details
Set NewMailObj=Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
NewMailObj.From = "mysite@mysite.com"
NewMailObj.To = "me@mysite.com"
NewMailObj.Subject = "New message sent.."
NewMailObj.Body = "the name entered was " & name & _
"<br>the email was " & email & _
"<br>the rin was " & rin & _
"<br>the message was:- <br> " & message

'you need to add the following lines FOR the mail to be sent in HTML format
NewMailObj.BodyFormat = 0
NewMailObj.MailFormat = 0
NewMailObj.Send
'Close the email object and free up resources
Set NewMailObj = nothing
Response.write "The email was sent, please use your back button to continue."
%>

</body>
</html>

Solution 1

You need to do a Response.Redirect instead of Response.Write.

Have a look at it here: ASP Redirect Method[^]
