How to redirect to another page after form action?

I am using Simple Form (getsimpleform.com) to email the HTML form contents to my email. The problem I am facing is that the HTML Form action is handled by getsimpleform so when the user clicks on submit button of the form, they are redirected to https://getsimpleform.com/ but I want them to stay be redirected to another page (i.e. contact.html).
So I want the form action to be performed but at the same time, I want the user to be redirected to another web page.
Thanks.

Just fill up your action attribute
<form action="next-page-please-url">
<button>butt</button>
</form>

You can add an action calback on your button, for example :
in yout HTML
<form>
...
<input type="submit" onclick="redirect()">
</form>
and in your javascript :
var redirect = function(){
document.location.href="contact.html"
}

First of all you need to change the action url of the form to your domain name
From
action="https://getsimpleform.com/"
To
action="https://YourDomain.com/"
and then on your php or whatever server side language you are using you can redirect e.g. I will use php example.
header('Location: http://www.YourDomain.com/OtherPage');

Based on their official page recommendation on redirect
<input type='hidden' name='redirect_to' value='https://yourdomain.com/contact.html' />
Try to insert it into the form and see whether it solves your problem.
P.S. don't forget to change [yourdomain] to your actual domain.

Liferay portlet: redirect to a new jsp with a js parameter

I'm working on a liferay portlet.
What I want to do is opening a new jsp with sending to it a URL parameter coming from javascript variable. I thought about it and I found two ideas:
1)Send the js variable to the jsp using ajax and then create a render url in jsp with a parameter the value received from js. But how I send js variable to jsp I don't find a good example in the internet.
2)Build the render url in javascript using the received parameter and then redirect from the script itself to the new jsp file using the render url that I found. For this idea I posted this question Liferay portlet: redirect to an other jsp page from javascript but I didn't get solution for it yet.
Has someone a suggestion how I can achieve what I want using one of my ideas or may be an other idea?

I found finally a solution for this problem.
I added in the jsp page a hidden post form that contains just one input and posts to an action method like that:
<portlet:actionURL var="jsVarActionURL" name="jsVarAction"/>
<form:form name="JsVarModel" method="post" modelAttribute="JsVarModel" action="<%=jsVarActionURL.toString() %>">
<form:input id="jsVar" type="text" path="receivedMessage" style="display:none;"/>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Add" style="display:none;"></input>
</form:form>
So my want was to for certain condition in javascript I have to send a js variable to new jsp page and open it. So in the script when the condition is valid I set to the input #jsVar the javascript value and I make a virtual click button in the submit button with trigger function of jquery like that:
var jsToJsp="Hello jsp I'm a js variable"
if(/*condition*/)
{
$("#jsVar").val(jsToJsp);
$("#submit").trigger("click");
}
In the controller the action method will receive the value coming from the form input field then it will redirect it to a render method:
#RenderMapping(params={"action=displayPageRender"})
public ModelAndView openUserProfilPage(RenderRequest request,RenderResponse response,Model model)
{
ModelAndView modelAndView= new ModelAndView("display");
modelAndView.addObject("jsVar", request.getParameter("jsVar"));
return modelAndView;
}
#ActionMapping(value = "jsVarAction")
public void sessionKeyActionMethod(#ModelAttribute("JsVarModel")ActionReceiveModel jsVar,ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse,Model model)
{
actionResponse.setRenderParameter("jsVar", jsVar.getMessage());
actionResponse.setRenderParameter("action", "displayPageRender");
}
Then I can receive it in display.jsp with ${jsVar} and everything works fine.

after clicking anchor jquery validate not working ( Spring MVC + JQuery)

We are developing a project using spring + hibe and jquery which do some form validation and text changing stuff. spring + hibe is working fine. but jquery doesnt. Here goes the scenario:
login.jsp
<form:form action="/login" method="post" id="registerForm" modelAttribute="formbean" data-ajax="false">
...
//some input fields
...
register
...
//some buttons
...
</form:form>
register.jsp
<form:form action="/reg" method="post" id="registerForm" modelAttribute="formbean" data-ajax="false">
...
//some input fields and buttons
...
</form:form>
in the login page ive got an anchor which will go to the register page.
if i call the two pages using spring mapping pattern /login... or /reg... seperately the jquery validation works pretty well.(validate if the fields are empty or invalid input and so on...).
BUT if i go to the register page by means of clicking the anchor, the validation will not be executed in the register.jsp. And basicly it submits the form to the server.
I suppose it has something to do with the jquery or ajax. Spring on the otherside should be no problem.
Could someone please tell why the jquery validate plugin doesnt work after the anchor being clicked and help me find the solution. I would really appreciate it.
btw the file i used included for both jsp pages are:
<script src="scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>

I recommended you choose between jquery validation or spring form validation ,combination of them is not good point! however spring tag will execute validation before jquery .
you can use simple
#RequestParam ("param1") String param1
In controller instead of use modelAttribute and command,and use plain html form and rely on jquery validation.

submit form in ruby on rails where action is your full url

So a follow up to this question: getting bad request from ruby on rails ssl post.
I fixed that problem and I make the next step in the transaction no problem. The problem I am facing is that their response is sent to an iFrame as a hidden form on an html document. The form then posts to a url that I provide them.
I have tried giving them localhost:3000/policies/complete making a controller action and a route resource for the post but it doesn't ever show anything.
- It just says javascript error unable to load resource: localhost:3000/policies/complete
So then I tried just /policies/complete (with the coresponding method in my policies controller complete) but for some reason instead of posting to that action - it posted to theirwebserver.com/policies/complete which obviously doesn't exist.
So since it looks like I have to pass in a whole url for it to work correctly the form is going to look like: <form method='Post' action='whatever whole url I give them'>
The form looks like this:
<form name="frmReturn" method="Post" action="localhost:3000/policies/hosted_checkout_complete">
<input name="PaymentID" type="hidden" value="the value you need really badly!">
<input name="ReturnCode" type="hidden" value="0">
<input name="ReturnMessage" type="hidden" value="Your transaction has been approved.">
</form>
Tl:DC How do I set up my app to handle that?
I can request that they use get to send the information back to me. If that would be easier to set up and accept please let me know!

You need to add the protocol (either http:// or https://) to the front of the action=
<form name="frmReturn" method="Post" action="http://localhost:3000/policies/hosted_checkout_complete">
However, I would NOT recommend doing this... You have completely missed the point of Rails routing. You should be doing something like this:
<form name="frmReturn" method="Post" action="<%= resource_url %>">
Ideally, you'd use the Rails form builders:
<%= form_for :resource, :action => 'hosted_checkout_complete' do %>

ASP.Net MVC, Submit a form using javascript

I have a form on one of my ASP.Net MVC views that I created using the following code
<% using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post))
Using this code I have no control as far as I am aware of setting the name of the form. I'm now trying to write a javascript function to submit the form, is this possible without knowing the forms name?
Thanks

You can use jquery to submit the form:
<% using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myForm"})) { %>
(the last part is for htmlAttributes parameter)
just do this:
$("#myForm").submit();
and do not forget to include jquery-1.2.6.js that comes with mvc (or use a higher version).

If you want to use jQuery without naming the form, and you will only have one form on the page, you can just add a link like this to your page:
Submit
And then add this jQuery which will wire up the link to submit every form:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a.submitForm").click(function () {
$("form").submit();
});
});
So this is a way of doing it (the way I just did it on my site) that doesn't require you to name the form - provided you only have one. Saying that, you may want to submit multiple forms ..

If you have only one form on that page, you can access the form by using:
document.forms[0].
So you could add a link:
submit form

If you need to set name of the form, use object htmlAttributes parameter of BeginForm method.
<% using
(Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post,
new {name="MySuperForm"})) %>
For submitting forms through javascript, check out this post. Might be useful.

This simple solution submit the Ajax form without post-back
Generate
<input id="sbmt" type="submit" style="visibility: hidden" />
Works in IE and Firefox.
