JS form redirecting once validated

[fernando b]

Hi, I was wondering if you could please help. I am working on a dummy site and I have used javascript to validate my form, and it appears to be work. I now want the validated form to link to a new webpage. I do not need to retain any of the inputted form informtion, i just need it to redirect to a new webpage once the form has been validated.

Many thanks in advance!...

doesn’t your code already do that?

Thanks for the reply..
Once the form goes through the validation process it does not redirect to any particular page, it just seems to crash. How can I direct to a different webpage, this is my problem?

[Dormilich]

if it seems to crash, there should be written something in the Error Console.
