Stay on page when submitting webform

    Hi,

    I need a way to use an html webform on a webpage and when the user clicks submit the "Thank you" page content replaces the webform on the same page. I am trying to prevent the user from leaving the webpage they are currently viewing.

    1. I can't use Iframes in this scenario.
    2. Alternatively, if the thank you page could popup in a very small new window they could work too.

    Thanks for any help.

    Kevin

    One possibility is to use AJAX to post the form data and fetch the result.

    Replace the submit button in your form with a 'button' input and make it call a javascript function...then ajax is the best action from there

    May I suggest you look for the $.post function on jquery.com, imo it's the best way to do ajax. (Requiers Jquery)
