[WEB4LIB] How to submit form and forward user to another page

[VanderHart, Robert]

Hi,

Wouldn't the code for this be something like:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Submit Button" onClick="parent.location='URL'";>
</FORM>

Subject: [WEB4LIB] How to submit form and forward user to another page


Does anyone know of a more-or-less simple way to set up a web form so that
when users fill out the form and click the "Submit" button they are
automatically sent to some other webpage?

This question was asked a few months ago on Web4Lib with no satisfactory
answer provided. (I checked the archives.) I've looked all through the
website on HTML and Java script with no luck either. I'm either not looking
for the right terms or this is harder than it seems.

Thanks for any help.
