    Hi

    I can send a form as an e-mail on my site but I want to then direct to another webpage once the person clicks submit or has pressed ok. This will be my confirmation page that the I am dealing with their request. Any suggestions?

    Also, on clicking submit I get a message saying "This form is being submitted using e-mail, submitting will reveal your e-mail address..." Can I change this message?

    ps I use Dreamweaver MX2004.

    Use a server-side script to do the emailing, rather than routing through the user's email client. That would be the only way.

    I would recommend NMS Formmail v2.07 (perl script), you can download it here: click to download (it is a free script)

    I agree with digitalpoint. you can only do this on server side script.

    Send Email and Redirect the user to your destination page
