.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Cannot submit to another form
I am converting my ASP code to ASP.NET but have run into a hard stop. On several of my pages I must post data to a different page as a result of a submit. With ASP.NET, however, it seems that the 'action' clause on a form is ignored and it always posts to itself. Now how, guys, do you manage to set up a form to post to PayPal, for example? What am I missing here? You can't change the "Action" attribute of the form, but you can set the "PostBackUrl" property on the submit button. >I am converting my ASP code to ASP.NET but have run into a hard stop.

To break away from the submit structure, you might try using postbackurl=" (your web page's name)" in the submit button.

However, there is no postbackurl capability when I want to use an image instead of a button to initiate a submit. > Yes, I have been able to make this work - that is, using a button with a > postbackurl field.

With your help I found out how to post to an out of application url. That works perfectly. What it does, however, is take my users away from my site and to the other site. What I really want to do is cause the other site to be seen in a new window so that I do not lose my users should they go 'take a look' at the other site. Is there an ASP.NET function that can accomplish this for me in association with the submit button? > .NET insists on setting its own action attribute for the form if you're using runat="server".
