I am using Mail Chimp and in one of my forms when someone registers via custom form, a message appears at the bottom saying 'Check your email for a confirmation email' or something like that. I would like to have them redirect to a thank you page (the standard one will do) instead of a message just appearing, I have been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out, but I can't seem to find a way to do this.....any suggestions?
The above answer is very vague and doesn't explain fully the process which is explained here in the Mailchimp docs:
https://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/design-and-host-your-own-thank-you-pages
If you check the 'disable all javascript' option then you'll need to perform your own form validation to avoid the form redirecting to a Mailchimp-hosted version of the form if there are errors. Then, once you have submitted the form, it will redirect to your chosen URL.
When creating an embedded form, be sure to disable javascript. There is a check box for it.

I have created email contents as an html page.
I have placed 4 check boxes and every time one of them is checked I want to run ajax which calls a url with parameters. Is such a thing possible or the email client will not run it for security reasons or/and other reasons?
I can do it with a link to a page with the same contents but the recipient may not bother to click the link.
The whole idea is: Can we run ajax calls in html email contents as if the contents were in an autonomous web page?
No you can't. All JavaScript is stripped from emails for security reasons. The best you can do, as you've listed, is to have a link in the email with parameters to allow the landing page to do it.
You can achieve interactivity, however, with checkboxes - such as hiding/showing content (already placed in emails). If you're already inserting the parameters, I'm assuming then you have the information--so place that content hidden in the email, which when checked, shows. Mark Robbins shows how it's done: https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2015/10/punched-card-coding-the-secret-of-interactive-email/ (if that's what you wanted, let us know in the comments and/or include your code and we can give a tailored example)
Is there a way to create a page in ClickFunnels(https://www.clickfunnels.com/) website and when I submit that page, I need to store the form details in my rails app(into a particular table). Which means I want to display my database in the clickfunnels integrations list. I googled hours but couldn't get much information on this.
can anyone suggest me if you have done this. A reference link also much appreciated.
We couldn't find any way to do this inside clickfunnels itself, if there is a easy way to add custom systems to their integrations I too look forward to seeing those answers. Until then, here's what we did: We just put our custom form on their page and used ajax to send it back out the end point in our system it needed to hand that data too.
Then, since we also needed to submit the same info to click funnels, we build a fake CF form(I think we actually put one on the page, but used CSS to hide it, then filled it out dynamically from our custom form), and call submit on that form, sending the user through the normal click funnels submission process and sending them to the next page in the funnel.
I'm setting up a set of custom templates for a SagePay server integration (iFrame), and I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to prevent the confirmation page (card_confirmation.xslt) being presented to the user.
It mostly duplicates information presents to customers earlier on in the checkout process and so is largely redundant.
So it's a bit of a long shot but can we by modifying some form value in one of the other templates or by any other method tell the system to skip that page?
Thanks.
You won't get this confirmation page if you pass Profile=LOW with the original transaction registration post. In fact, if you are not sending this and displaying the Sage Pay screens in an iframe, you are going to have problems with some browsers.
Can anyone help me figure out how to use jmeter and force it to fill out and submit a form automatically? For example, I need to fill out the google search box and then click the I'm Feeling Lucky button?
Google is not a good example because it uses GET for the form. For example, to search "jmeter" and press Feeling Lucky button, you can just send this URL,
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=jmeter&oq=&btnI=1
To do a real post, you need to find the form control field names from a trace or by looking at HTML source and just do something like showed here. The username/password are the field name to post. The action is http://www.example.com/login.
Please note the screen shot is wrong. The method is a "GET" and it should be set to "POST", otherwise the form will not be submitted properly.
Is there a reason why you want to load test Google? If you just want to have a script that tests the functionality of a Website, try selenium: http://seleniumhq.org/. If you are actually trying to load test a form, you have to create the appropriate request. Using a tool like Fiddler can help.
I have a web form with more than 10 fields that are submitted to the database. So before submitting the values I am doing JavaScript validation.
Currently I am using JavaScript validation and shows an alert box if an error occurs in data entry.
Is it a good practice to show alert box when JavaScript validation fails or should I use asp.net validation controls to display the error messages?
I'd avoid using an alert box. It's annoying, requires an extra click, and since it's modal - stops the entire browser.Instead, highlight the erroneous fields/values, and print a message at the top, explaining that the highlighted fields need to be corrected before the user can continue.You can use Asp.Net validation, or jQuery form validation - both work equally well.
ASP.NET Validation controls are more recommended, because the alert can be intrusive. They can be set to give messages without posting back, which is ideal.
Just make sure you make it obvious when the form has failed.
from the usability perspective it is much better to use .net validation. Depending on your alert box implementation you may bombard user with many alerts which is very bad.
Also don't rely on client side validation only. Be sure to validate on the server side as well. And this is where .net validation might be handy again.
A good practice is what when your code supports fall back method. For example, if Javascript is disabled then the user should still be able to view the error messages, if any.
More over, they dont look as good as you could style your own divs and display them after some server side validation .. and then use javascript to hide/fade out this error message container div.
I think its a personal/design preference.
Sometimes its just more obvious when there is a javascript alert indicating something needs to be done. Sometimes a small red asterisk gets lost on the page.
In my own opinion, alert boxes are just too annoying to see on websites these days since they're all you see on Windows... But, if you prefer a better looking site, use something else. If you want to make sure the message gets across - then use an alert.
