subscriber modify question

[stevan]

First a very easy to install script NEVER done a cgi before and worked first time

The question is after they subscribe to the list the screen comes up and says something like you have been subscribed . What I am asking can that be changed to a small popup so the page they signed up on stays there or a auto return on that subscribe screen so after a few seconds it will go back to the page where the sign up in on

Probably the simplest thing for you to do would be to change the subscription form HTML code to make the submission pop up a new window. You can do this by simply changing the form tag and adding "target" to it:

<form action=... target="_new">...

When a user clicks the submit button, a new window will pop up.

I think i am not doing it right here is what I did the new is not right >>

<form action=http://www.url.net/cgi-bin/mail/subscriber.cgi method=post>target="_new">...

It should just cause a new window to be created.

Make sure you have the whole form tag in there correctly:

<form action="http://path/to/subscriber.cgi" method="post" target="_new">

ok got it to work Is there a way to make it justable like a popup window

[Admin-BS]

Sorry for the slow response.

You can make it into a true pop-up by using javascript. The most straightforward way to accomplish this would be to add an "onSubmit" tag to your form. For example:

Code: Select all

<form action="http://path/to/subscriber.cgi" method="post" onSubmit="window.open('','subwindow','height=300,width=700,scrollbars=yes'); this.target='subwindow'; return true;">

Note that this replaces the target tag from the previous response. Also, you can change the height and width on that to whatever you want.

Hope this helps!

The new screen comes up blank

<form action="http://path/to/subscriber.cgi" method="post" onSubmit="window.open('','subwindow','height=300,width=700,scrollbars=yes'); this.target='subwindow'; return true;

You might want to try separating it into a separate javascript function. Here's a pretty straightforward tutorial on how you can accomplish that:
