forms confirmation page

I have all my forms working great ( thanks to all you guys) except for one
small problem. I created a thank you page as a confirmation page but when
ever the form is submitted the confirmation page opens in the middle of the
page instead of at the top of the page. Since the only thing on the page is
a header and the thank you text, the page generally looks like a blank white
page to the user. Ever other page on the site opens at the top...how can I
get this one to do the same thing.

The form tag is missing the contents of the onsubmit attribute - this
should be

onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)"

However, this attribute has nothing to do with the display of the
confirmation page.


In the Confirmation page you gave the link for there is an opening <div>
tag, with no closing </div> tag:

<body>

<table class="main">
<tr>
<td>
<div id="masthead">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="50">


The page in your link is NOT the page displayed after the form is
submitted. The page displayed is actually at
ZBTforms/thanks.htm, and is displayed in a large iFrame designed for the
form itself. The page renders at the bottom of the iFrame, where the
user pressed the submit button.

<iframe name="I1"
src="http://www.raginggator.com/ZBTforms/contactzbtreg.htm" width="698"
height="742" scrolling="no" border="0" frameborder="0" align="top">

I sucessfully reroute back to the correct "thanks" page but since the from is
in an I frame, the "thanks" is in an I frame and because it is generated by
webot, I can't change the target in the code. I can change it but it won't
save the changes.

I would reconsider using iFrames. They tend to give users more problems
(with bookmarking pages, and getting to pages from search engines) than
authors, but sometimes even the author has problems.

A simple layout using a <div> where you have the iFrame for each page
will work - the main page is small so load times will not be a problem.
If you use FP2003 a DWT (Dynamic Web Template) can be used as a template
for all the pages with an editable region for the unique content.
