Closing Email Form Window - Automatically?

[thelinkguy]

I've used the "form maker" to produce a script for an email form and used the instructions from the page to customize it for myself. It works fine.
The problem is that I've put it on a separate page that I intend to open in a new window. I want the user to be able to just close the new window after he's submitted the form. The only choice I saw in the instructions was to give the user a link to a web page, which I did, and the text on the link reads (just close this window). Of course if the user actually clicks the link, he winds up on our home page. Is there a way to but a button on the form's results page that closes the window? I don't care if it's an automatic feature, or the user has to click something. Failing that, I want to get rid of the link, so there's nowhere to click, but the instructions to close the window remain on screen to give the user at least a clue.

Hi

I would honestly believe that the easiest method for you to accomplish your end goal, which I believe is to have the submitters end up back at your main page, would be as follows.

Have the separate page open up normally, and when they click submit have them redirected right back to the main page.

An alternative idea would be to have the following javascript on both the Form Page and the resulting redirected page.

Code Sample:

<form><input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();"></form>

This would allow your users to simply press a button to close the form submission page and/or the resulting redirection page.

Don't know that this is exactly what your looking for but it may help lead there

Enjoy,
