Please can you help me? I am using a template website and need to include my form in a frame else the page becomes corrupted. However the full redirect page appears within the iframe. I have read through lots of help, and googled for solutions but have had no success in getting anything to work.

Here is a link to the form on my site, but not sure you will be able to access it since not switched online yet: http://www.quickonthenet.co.uk/demo/qotn/index.cfm?sid=45288&pid=702343

I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you,
Robert

Good Day,

You can get the result you are desiring by altering a bit of the form code manually once you have copied and pasted it. Look for the following bit of code:

Thanks Nick,

Your fast response is much appreciated. I haven't been able to paste the html code into my website, as it is a template site and the page gets corrupted. I have been able to get round this by placing the lin to the hosted form in an iframe reference. I have tried amending this to include first target="_top" and then target="_parent", but it hasn't made any difference. The whole page, including menu buttons, still appears in the form window.

Here is the code from the last attempt:

<IFRAME height=700
src="http://www.mycontactform.com/hosted/form.php?formid=240877" width="80%" target="_parent"> </IFRAME>

Do you have anything else you can suggest please?

Yours hopefully,
Robert

Dear Nick

Thank you for your reply. I understand and it is quite reasonable. I have found a workaround, which I am posting just in case there is someone else in my situation. That is, working with a template site that has problems if the html code is pasted into it so the only option is to be hosted on mycontactform and reference the hosted code from an iframe. The workaround isn't elegant, but it does work.

The basic concept is that the url redirection goes to a point some way further down the contact page which has the Thank you message on it. On the template site I am using the left hand menu is fixed higher up the page, so all the user sees in the iframe window is the thank you message.

So, here is the code for the Contact page on the template website:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<IFRAME height=700
src="http://www.mycontactform.com/hosted/form.php?formid=240877"
width="100%"> </IFRAME>

 

 <A name=thanks>Thanks for your enquiry</A>
 We will get in contact with you as soon as possible etc...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And for the redirect page url you need to add

/#thanks

so that it points to the bottom of the Contact page.

Regards,
Robert
