Submit button to re-direct to another page

What i have is a basic form, when you hit the submit button it sends an
email with the form details. What i also want it to do is re-direct to
another page. I have tried to use both actions within the actions field
of the submit button but it fails to recognise the second action. So
what i thought could be an option is to use the action for the submit
button to 'mailto:[email protected]' then hyperlink the button to
redirect to the other page but i cant get it to work.... any ideas will
be greatly appreciated before i chuck my pc out of the window ;-) !
 
So after the email is sent you want them to be taken to another page? if
so, under form properties click options and then the confirmation page tab
and put in the name of the page you want them to be taken to.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Format -> Behaviors menu can do multiple
functions at once. If you have your button sending the information using a
form script, then you can redirect it with the onclick.

Just open the Behaviors menu on the side of the screen with your button
selected, click Insert > Go to URL.

Of course I could just be spouting useless information here. I have no idea
how you approached your form.
 
Not if you are using the FP Form Handler to process the form.

Well that's why I said I didn't know for sure. Thanks for clearing that up.
A long while back I did a forum without FP and managed to get the page to
redirect afterwards. I guess the FP Form Handler uses a different approach.
Unfortunately it was a long time back, and the site has long since been
scrapped. Not a trace of the coding remains.
