Link to 2 different pages from same form

Sorry Casey, I don’t have a solution to this.

Link to 2 different pages from same form

Update on this after some further testing… The issue occurs only when I’m using the above custom javascript, which enables linking to 1 of 2 different pages based on zipcode. That code is awesome if the user keys the zip then clicks the button, but there’s a problem if they key and hit enter (as described in my posts above). I’m not very technical, but I think the issue is caused by a conflict between what the custom javascript is doing and the ‘form confirmation’ properties which are set in the standard editing interface. I have tested a few scenarios which I hope will help with a resolution: If I take out the custom javascript and just link to a single web page from the form, it works fine if a user just keys their zip and hits enter. Unfortunately this doesn’t meet my need to link to 2 different pages. When using the custom javascript, if I set the ‘form confirmation’ properties to “go to another web page” but leave the “URL” field blank, the custom javascript works fine ONLY IF

Hi Justin. Any update on this? I’m sorry to hassle but can you please give me a timeframe for looking into it or likelihood that there’s a fix. I’m ready to launch this but holding off because I think it’s quite a big usability issue with the way I currently have the page set up (single-field form). Initial testing has resulted in every user so far typing in their zip and hitting ENTER, at which point the zip disappears and they go nowhere. If it’s unlikely that there’s an easy fix I’ll have to think about alternatives ways to structure the page flow that this is part of. I’m hopeful that there’s a bit of code I can add in to fix it though. cheers julian

Hi. No problem Justin, thanks for picking this up. Using Chrome on Mac OS (leopard). Just got a new notebook running lion (also using chrome), but haven’t tested this on that.

Hi. Not heard back on this 2nd question. Since it’s unrelated to my original question I will post it as a separate thread. So consider this question dealt with - that custom javascript works perfectly, thanks Justin.

This is absolutely great, thanks Justin. I have one more question about the same form. As I said above it’s a single-field form (zipcode only) with a ‘submit’ button alongside. Because it’s single field I expect a lot of users will just type in the zip and hit return/enter. Trouble is, when they do this the field clears and they don’t go anywhere. They have to re-key their zip and click the submit button. Is there a way to make the form submit when they hit return/enter? Maybe another bit of custom javascript?
