Javascript Form actions assistance please

[Buzz]

i'm having a bit of a problem.

I'm trying to mail a form then redirect the page in javascript.

I can get the form to mail easily enough with a mailto: form action, and I can get the redirect to work with a submit function. the problem I have is I can't get both to work at the same time.

Now I know i could use a cgi script for this but I really want to try and get it working with just javascript/dhtml.

I've also tried a graphic submitbutton that calls the function to submit then redirect.

i.e.:

function doSubmit () {
document.forms[0].submit()
location = "page.html"
}


I can't get that working either.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

it's location.href="url"

or location.replace("url") if you don't want the page doing the redirect to show up in the history :)

Thanks Stven. Everything I have says location = "url". Damn reference book! I hate it when they're wrong!

I'll give the location.href a whirl and let you know if that works.

Thanks again.

Aaaarguh. Still no luck. Okay I'm breaking out the cgi script. I know that works.

Thanks for the help anyway Steven.

Strange... at least one of the JS methods will normally work, usually both of them :confused:

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Maybe I should just retype the darn code. Even though I know it's all in there correctly, you know that sometimes simply retyping it does something to make it work. Lord knows what.
