Re: forms

I think you're asking for html to do something that it can't do.  You're 
original question as I remember it, was to deal with the user who could hit 
submit over and over and over again.

Now as I see your question, after hitting submit, you want the entire page to 
disappear leaving them with a "thank you for submitting your comments."  In 
normal cases, the submit button activates a CGI which has to process the fact 
that someone has hit the submit button.  For the user to see a change in the 
page, the CGI has to get off it's butt and respond.  That is where the delay 
is... from the time the submit button is pushed and when the CGI replies.

Unless there is a way to make javascript load two pages of html OnLoad, then 
"OnClick" (or whatever) the second page displays.  Anyone have any theories 
on this idea?
