embedded form well - how to get thankyou to appear in the form itself?

embedded form well - how to get thankyou to appear in the form itself?

I've embedded the form nicely in my existing page and the email is working well.

I'd like to have a "thank you" appear in the <div> that houses the form, rather than on a new page - the difficulty is that the form is on my home page, so I don't necessarily want people to leave it after a successful form submission.

The old way I could do is to create a "thank you page" styled in the manner of the site, then use an x-seconds redirect to go back to the home page, but there must be something just a bit more impressive available...

Thanks,
Pete

in the server behavior that will process the form, sending an email or storing the information in a database, set the redirect to go back to itself using a querystring variable, example:
index.php?proc=1


you can then use an if statement to display the form or the thank you message based on the querystring variable:

php:
<?php if(isset($_GET['proc']) && $_GET['proc'] == 1) { ?>
Form was submitted message
<?php } else { ?>
Form here
<?php ?>

Jason,

I would like the ThankYou in the div on the form page. What steps would I take to make this happen?

set the redirect for the universal email behavior as outlined previously, then add the if statement inside your div:

php:
<?php if(isset($_GET['proc']) && $_GET['proc'] == 1) { ?>

Form was submitted message
<?php ?>

Thanks for the reply.

Please forgive my ignorance.

Where/what location do I put:
index.php?proc=1

Is it part of:
//Send Mail All Entries
if ("index.php"!="") {
header("Location: thankyou.php");
}

change:
header("Location: thankyou.php");

to:
header("Location: thankyou.php?proc=1");
