I am trying to set up the code so that the it takes the user from one form to a thank you page, then to another form and have some of the info from the first (last name, first name, email) into the second.
I managed to get the code to work in a simple, theoretical form but the form I'm modifying includes some VB script (does that conflict?) with some older HTML standards.

<!-- STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag -->
<!-- STEP THREE: Copy this code into the BODY of your HTML document -->Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciate! :)
