Hey guys--<br />
<br />
I am making a webpage that is going on the Comcast personal website server, and they have a feature that allows me to poll people who come. I can format the poll onto my page, but there is a specific server side page ("Thanks for your submission!") that the user must go to in order to submit the poll (a page whose formatting/appearance I cannot control). There is also a separate link to view results, which I don't mind, but if I make the poll "Submit" button go to this page, their vote is not submitted. Is there any way to format the link on the poll page to go to the "Thanks" page and then immediately go to another page (essentially an autoredirect but controlled from the poll page rather than the "Thanks page")? I know this sounds confusing, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!<!--content-->if the thank you page is served by the hosting company's server then you have no control over it.<!--content-->If you can format the poll on your page, why not create your own "thank you" page & include the redirect there? Or skip the redirect altogether, & send people to the page you want them to see.<!--content-->The way Comcast's polling feature is set up, you can put the poll on any page you want (thus allowing me to format the page appearance), but when the poll is submitted the link must go to this "thank you" page to count. I don't know much about web development, so I don't know how to make my own poll, so I use Comcast's feature where they tally the results. My main question is this: If A links to B and I want to redirect B to C, can I control that from page A? Thanks.<!--content-->There might be a way to do it with javascript, using two onclick actions, but it's probably more trouble than it's worth. You might be better off creating your own poll. I'm sure there are pre-packaged scripts available. Maybe try posting this in the js forum?<!--content-->JavaScript can't be used to create a poll... You need a server side language such as PHP, Perl, etc... You could try looking around these site:<br />

I know this sounds confusing, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Someone suggested using JavaScript with two Onlick actions, but I have no expereience with Java so I didn't understand. Thanks!!<!--content-->you should not have posted another thread for the topic that has been answered before.<!--content-->Comcast does not even allow you to use a server side language witht he personal web page. Comcast is my internet provider and I know the webspace they provide for me does not include any server side languages.<!--content-->
