Q759 When a form is submitted how can I show a thank you page?

To submit a form to email and then alter the current location requires a Frameset with a hidden frame:

<FRAMESET ROWS="100%,*">
<FRAME SRC="form.htm">
<FRAME SRC="blank.htm">
</FRAMESET>

Then when the form is submitted use:

<FORM ... onSubmit="parent.frames[1].location.href='trigger.htm'">

and then in trigger.htm:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function tripIt() {
    parent.frames[0].location.href = 'thanks.htm';
}
setTimeout('tripIt()',5000);
//--></SCRIPT>
