Hello:

I have created a site using expression web and have it hosted under a shared large-unix hosting account. In addition I've used the feedback form creator to make a custom contact form. It works well. Even so, I would like to modify the way it works.

As you are aware, when someone fills out the contact form and submits it. They are sent to a less than stellar thank you page.

What I want to do is modify it so that when someone submits the form, they are sent to my thank you page.

I know that I would have to modify the FormMail.contact-usform.pl

Doing some research I found something that mentions I'll have to use a redirect. Before I do any more research, has anyone modified this file so the program sends people to a custom thank you page? If so, does anyone have instructions as to how to exactly modify the code so users are sent to a custom thank you page?

Thanks

I think I figured it out. What I did was to add the following to the form itself.

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://www.yousite.com/thank-you.htm" />

Of course you would edit the url to the one appropriate for your website. I would still appreciate any comments as to if this is the appropriate to achieve what I stated originally.

I did find some references about modifying the script itself. But decided to go this route instead.

Thanks
