Stop Exact Target Web Collect success redirect

Question

I have a web collect form that will be used in a light box modal for email capture. On the form submission I have a function to hide the div that contains the form and display the thank you div but it still redirects to an ExactTarget “Thank You” page before it has a chance to display the div. If I go back, the thank you div is displayed but I need to stop the redirect altogether. This there a way to stop this?

Here is an example of where the redirect is happening:

<form action="http://cl.exct.net/subscribe.aspx?lid=ExampleListID" method="post" id="signup" onsubmit="switchVisible()">

Add your landing form page URL as your success URL.

In the end of your function, you should to avoid the default action - Submit, use Jquery:

function yourFunction(event) {
    // Your codes here.
    event.preventDefault();
}

Hope can help you.

Here is the documentation on the SFMC/ExactTarget Web Collect functionality.

You can specify the Thank You and Error URLs -- if that helps.

You don't have to do a traditional form POST with a redirect.  You can do it all with AJAX and parse the results.
