User Validation Before Submit?

[Guest]

I have built a form to collect information from the user. Right now when the SUBMIT button is clicked, the form results are sent to a file & email and the user sees the confirmation page. I would like to have the user view the information on the the confirmation page and if it is good THEN have the results submitted to the file & email. Is that possible

There are several ways.

Probably your best bet would be to post the information from your form
(using asp so you can keep session variables) to another html form. Use that
form for confirmation, and then submit your form to a file and email.

Lie so: form1 gets user stuff -> using asp post the information from the
variables on form1 to form2

the SUBMIT button is clicked, the form results are sent to a file & email

results submitted to the file & email. Is that possible?

Not possible when using the FP Form Handler. The best you can do is to use FP's Form Field
Validation. Otherwise you will have to learn to code in whatever server-side scripting language is
supported by your host.

The point was to NOT us FP form handlers. Create your own was the plan.

Not the answer I was hoping for, as I don't code right now. But at least I will stop beating my head against the wall and find another way. Thank you very much

Here are some links that may help:

The last one would probably help the most as it allows you to create a
'Re-entrant Page'

Hope they help.
