popup windows with PHP???

Anon

With a simple FORM-TO-MAIL php script that returns an entire browser page with a little "Thank you" sentence in it i am not really satisfied.
What i would like to accomplish is that this little thanks mesage comes as a small popup.

My current echo line looks like this:

if ($k==1) {echo ". Thank's form Useroo, your input is on the way, We will be adding the misssing search term a.s.a.p! Hit the browsers back button to return.";}
else {echo "There is a problem with the mail server. Please try again later. Have a nice day!";};

?>

what could i change or add to this to get the Thanks echo as a popup in a particular size or even pixel position????

Thanks for understandable info (i am new to PHP)

I agree..

You'll find build in behaviours with Dreamweaver which will write this JaveScript for you.

painfully short answer here, in fact i found that out already and have tried a few things in the meantime too.
But, this is newland for me.
How to do a Java popup inside a HTML file, no problem, been there done that,
but in combination with a php form to mail script?
First of all:
Do i put the Java Script into the HTML Form or the PHP script?
If i put it into the HTML, how do i combine the mail send function with the poup so they wont interfer?
(i have tried a thing like this:
<BODY onLoad="newwindow.close()">
<input type="submit" value="Send Input"
onClick="window.open('yes.htm','newwindow','width=200,
height=200')">
within the HTML and guess what, the php still returned the echo page in full browser mode.
Or, should i put the Java into the php file?
But then again, how do i activate the mail send function of the php but no echo page and at the same time the Java with it's popup????

Hope you are a professor on this and can give me the conclusive answer
(but i guess that's just a holy wish isn't it)????

Thanks anyway

is not a program i have ever used and Flash 4 is in the "freezer' ergo never had time to figure that one out so far.
I can do a popup Java, i was able to do the php formtomail and i certainly can do the HTMl form, but how to combine the 3 to A: send the input to my emailer and B: acknowledge via small popup, that's the question Santa Claus has to answer me.

The way you have worded your original desire is not possible imo. You have to submit the page containing the form to something else, meaning the page holding the form has to go away. From there you can do whatever you want, but you must leave the page holding the form. (OK, you probably could get around this useing some j@ck@$$ combination of frames and javascript, but i dont recomend it)

I could be wrong about that, find an html refrence and look for a "target" clause for forms?

Yeah, it's not growing on trees that "how to" wisdom, isn't it.
I found a sosolala solution:
Within the echo in the php file i installed the entire HTML for the original form with the difference that inside this HTML is a table with the "thank you" message added. Looks semi professional but is of course not the real thing.

I'll figure it out some day some how and i am almost certain it's just one tiny little thing, like always.

Dreamweaver is excellent - I've been using it for years but never looked at behaviors - and getting javascript off the web. Thanks for the tip.
