Redirect a Google Docs form to your custom 'thank you' page Options

[RainLover]

Here's a Google Docs form:

CODE

<form action="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/formResponse?formkey=dE02TlBHQ2hnVVdkTE5ya0lBYXhaMlE6MQ&amp;ifq" method="POST" id="ss-form">
<br>
<div class="errorbox-good">
<div class="ss-item ss-item-required ss-text"><div class="ss-form-entry"><label class="ss-q-title" for="entry_0">First name
<span class="ss-required-asterisk">*</span></label>
<label class="ss-q-help" for="entry_0"></label>
<input type="text" name="entry.0.single" value="" class="ss-q-short" id="entry_0"></div></div></div>
<br> <div class="errorbox-good">
<div class="ss-item ss-item-required ss-text"><div class="ss-form-entry"><label class="ss-q-title" for="entry_1">Last name
<span class="ss-required-asterisk">*</span></label>
<label class="ss-q-help" for="entry_1"></label>
<input type="text" name="entry.1.single" value="" class="ss-q-short" id="entry_1"></div></div></div>
<br>
<input type="hidden" name="pageNumber" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="backupCache" value="">
<div class="ss-item ss-navigate"><div class="ss-form-entry">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></div></div></form>

And here's the spreadsheet that it feeds:

I wonder how to redirect the form to my own custom 'thank you' page on submission.
Thanks!

You could open a second window/iframe with the Thank You, or load the Google page in that second window/iframe and redirect the form page on submit. Or you might edit/redirect the Google page, but I don't know if that's allowed.

Thanks for the answer!

load the Google page in that second window/iframe and redirect the form page on submit.

I just found this:
http://www.morningcopy.com.au/tutorials/ho...e-google-forms/ >> step 9.

Is that what you mean or do you have a more straightforward approach?

Is that what you mean

Yes, but I can't say if the JS works reliably.

or do you have a more straightforward approach?

You could load the Google page in a iframe that's hidden with CSS, and then print a JS thank you message on the actual form page. Simplified example:

CODE

<iframe name="foo" src="page1.html">Inline frames must be supported by the browser.</iframe>

<form action="page2.html" target="foo"
onsubmit="this.innerHTML+='<p>Thank you!<\/p>';">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>

A disadvantage is that the user gets no real confirmation that Google actually received the form submission, only that the form was submitted.
