Hello,
I am brand new to front page and web design. I have figured out most of it,
but the one thing I cannot do is link a page to an email address and then in
that same action direct my users to another page. Here is what I am trying
to do:
I have a registration page for people to register for an event; I can create
an interactive button. But How do I get that registration page to go to my
email address AND then pull up the payment page immediately when my customer
clicks the button? I need to have this send the registration detail to me
and simultaneously bring up the Payment Page?
Your help is very much needed & appreciated!!! Thank you!
 
Assuming you are NOT using FrontPage extensions to process the registration
form, use an Interactive Button for the submit button[1] on the registration
form, and have the payment page as the confirmation page. This will not
work if you are using FrontPage extensions to process the forms and requires
server side scripting (PHP, ASP asp.NET etc). If the payment page accepts
credit cards, then FP extensions should be avoided anyway - there is no
security unless a third party (PayPal, etc.) is involved to take and process
the credit card details.

[1] Use Insert Interactive Button to create the button and button text, but
remove the hyperlink after placing it in the page.
Then the form's submit button becomes
<input type="image" src="path/to/ineractiveButton" title="submit form"
alt="submit">
