How do I connect my confirmation page after one clicks on the "Submit Button"

If using FrontPage extensions to process the form, open the form in
FrontPage, right click and choose Form Properties.
Specify the confirmation page in the property sheets.
Make sure you *save* the page when finished - sometimes changes to the
form properties do not "take" when you close the page, unless you edited
something else as well.

Dear Ronx:
Thank you very much for immediately responding to my problem. I tried
following your instructions and I'm still confused. I think I know what
seems to be my problem. My software is Expression Web and I should contact
Expression Web Forum to have them help me. Anyway, thank you for your time
and effort.

Same procedure in Expression Web, if you are using the extensions to
process the form. If you are using other server side scripting then the
confirmation page is usually the script that processes the form - see
the form action attribute which will be similar to:
<form method="post" action="myscript.asp"> (this uses an asp script to
process the form).

Okay Ronx, I will try it and keep you posted if this works or not.

Dear Ronx:
Where do I put the form action link above my mail to link or below it? My
Confirmation page is a htm web page. Do I type it as: <form method="post"
action="Confirmation.htm"> ?
Also, in my Contact Us web page on my Submit Button, when I receive email
from the user who clicks on the Submit Button I would like the title on the
subject line to read: Changes & Updates. Here is my mail to link: <FORM
name=mainform runat="server" action="mailto:[email protected]"
onSubmit="validate();"> Where do I add the subject line Changes and Updates
in the link I gave you?
The reason I prefer going to you (the Discussion Group) instead of
Expression Web Forum Group. You, Ronx as well as the Discussion Group
Technicial Support Team know your product and know how to solve a problem by
giving instructions sometimes step by step instructions on how to solve a
problem. Whereas, Expression Forum Group doesn't get to the point in solving
my problem, they give me the round around and their unsolicit comments which
I don't need. For instance, I am still having problems to get my Contact Us
aspx web page to display when I preview it on my browser. Whereas, I am able
to display my Contact Us htm web page on my browser. A few of the Expression
Web Forum Technician told me to download VWD 2005 which I did.
Unfortunately, VWD 2005 made my Contact Us aspx web page worse, I was unable
to Contact Us aspx web page from My Documents; I could only open my Contact
Us aspx web page from the Expression Web Icon. So therefore, I decided to
delete VWD 2005 from my computer. Unfortunately, my problem with my contact
us aspx web page has not been solved-I'm still having problems.

You should not have a mailto link if you are using the extensions. And
looking at the code snippet you are using asp.NET.
There are much better ways of sending emails with form data if using
asp.NET. The exact method depends on what your host supports.
When using a mailto for the form action, there will never be a
confirmation page - the email client cannot produce one - and some users
will not be able to use the form anyway, since they may not have an
email client linked to the browser - hotmail and googlemail users (and
anyone using web mail) are involved here.
Your original post has gone from my machine (I delete posts
automatically after a few days), so if you provide a link to the form
page we may be able to assist further, after seeing exactly what you
have there.

Dear Ron:
It is a good thing I printed out your replies, so I could carefully read
them. I understand your reason for deleting old messages-you don't want them
to clogg up your email space.
My Contact Us in on htm web page. You can view my website at:
http://www.hclfamilyreunion.com Frankly, I would prefer to have my Contact
Us on aspx webpage instead of htm web page. Here is the link I have in my
code view after a user clicks on the Submit Button: <FORM name=mainform
runat="server" action="mailto:[email protected]"
onSubmit="validate();"> Also, I would like to add two things to this link.
1) When I receive email from my website, I would like the subject to read:
Changes & Updates. How do I add this to the link above?
2) Where do I put the Confirmation Page link you gave me <form method=Post"
action="Confirmation.htm">? Do I put this link below my mail to link?
Hopefully my questions and my website will help you understand my problem
better.

Your site is hosted by Office Live, which will limit your options.
I suggest you start again with the contact page, and use the Office Live
contact module - though that will not allow you to use all the fields in
your form.
As it stands, with
<FORM name=mainform runat="server" action="mailto:[email protected]"
onSubmit="validate();">
you cannot have a confirmation page. The form is processed by the users
email client (if he has one associated with the browser), and that will
send the email - not your server.
Change the above to
<FORM name="mainform" runat="server"
action="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Changes+%26+Updates"
onSubmit="validate();">
Office Live does not support FrontPage extensions.
If you retain the .htm extension you can remove all the runat="server"
attributes, and all the <asp:etc tags - these don't work on .htm pages.
Office Live (as far as I can tell) does not support server side
scripting, except for its provided modules, which is why I refer to
starting over.
