All my email forms are opening a text page like the one shown here instead of the next url (the email is received correctly) as indicated:
The following form submission was sent.
first_name = Richard
middle_initial =
last_name = Gallatin
email_address = richardgallatin@verizon.net
telephone_number =
questions_comments = Test
submit = Send Email
subject = Contact Page
next_url = http://www.theavanti.com/contact_thankyou.html
How is this error occurring and how do I correct it?
This problem persists and I can find no error in the code. Clicking "Submit" opens a sample of the form submitted instead of the next_url. The hosting server is at Yahoo and here is the sample form code which they provide:
<form action="http://us.1.p9.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=richard_gallatin" method=post class="text760left">
Your first name:<br />
<input type="text" name="Name" size="27" />
<p>
Your URL:<br />
<input type="text" name="URL" size="27" />
</p><p>
How often do you visit my web site?<br />
<input type="radio" name="Visit" value="Daily" />Every day<br />
<input type="radio" name="Visit" value="Weekly" />Once per week<br />
<input type="radio" name="Visit" value="Monthly" />Once per month<br />
<input type="radio" name="Visit" value="Yearly" />Once per year<br />
</p><p>
Please add any comments you have below:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="6" name="Comments"></textarea>
</p><p><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
<input type="reset" value="Clear the form" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Survey Results" />
<input type="hidden" name="required_fields" value="Name,URL" />
<input type="hidden" name="next_url" value="http://theavanti.com/index.html" />
</p></form>
Again, clicking submit opens a report showing the form data instead of opening the next url as specified above. Here is a link to a page I set up to test the form: http://www.theavanti.com/form_test.html

I have the exact same problem. The page was working perfectly a few weeks ago, and now instead of
going to the next_url page, it simply gives a page that says the form was submitted. I did not change
anything on the page. It just stopped working correctly. Like the original poster, I am using Yahoo
web hosting. Here is the form code:
<form onsubmit="return emailcheck(this)" method=post action="http://us.2.p6.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=paulinpo">
<input type="hidden" name="next_url" value="http://www.preciouspollabies.com/coloring_pics.zip">
<strong>Please enter your email address to download a free set of six Precious Pollabies coloring pictures:</strong><br />
<br><input type="text" size="40" name="email">
<input type="submit" value="Submit!">
<br />
</form>
Any help?
Just had the same problem. Something with Yahoo changed. This is what I had to do to get it to
work.
<form method=post action="http://us.1.p11.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=xxxxxxxx&confirm=contactresponse.html">
had to add the &confirm along with the next page to display within the form tag
Hope this helps
