<xmod:ContinueButton>

The ContinueButton tag renders a push-button used inside an <AddSuccessTemplate> or <EditSuccessTemplate> — the optional "thank you" view shown after a form is successfully submitted. When clicked, the user is sent to the page they would have seen if no success template had been displayed, or to the URL specified in Redirect.

xmod: prefix required

Unlike the other Add/Update/Cancel buttons, ContinueButton, ContinueImage, and ContinueLink are template tags — they live inside <…SuccessTemplate>, not inside the form itself — so they require the xmod: prefix. Use <xmod:ContinueButton> rather than <ContinueButton>.

Example

<AddForm>
  ...
</AddForm>

<AddSuccessTemplate>
  <ItemTemplate>
    <h1>Thanks for Signing Up</h1>
    <p>Click the button below to go to your profile page.</p>
    <xmod:ContinueButton Text="View Your Profile"
                         Redirect="http://mysite.com/profile" RedirectMethod="Get" />
  </ItemTemplate>
</AddSuccessTemplate>

Property Details

• OnClientClick: A JavaScript expression to run when the button is clicked, before the redirect happens. If your script returns false, the button does nothing further. If it returns true (or doesn't return anything), the button proceeds normally.

• Redirect: After the click, redirect the user to this URL. If omitted, the user is sent to the page they would have seen if the success template hadn't been shown — typically the page that contained the form.

• RedirectMethod: The HTTP method used for the redirect. Get (the default) appends form values as query string parameters. Post submits them as a form POST.
