Q385 How can I change the current location after successfully submitting a form?

Only by setting a timer that changes the page location after a delay:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function start() {
    setTimer("location.href='nextpage.htm'",5000);  goto nextpage.htm after 5 seconds
}
//--></script>

<form onSubmit="start()">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Although this assumes that the form submission has completed within the 5 seconds.
