There is no easy way, as basically you'd have to edit the form submission script itself (message.php) to not redirect to a new page upon submission, but echo the result back to the browser for the Ajax script to pick up. In other words, you'd have to be proficient with PHP.

An easier way is to define an iframe containing message.php as one of the contents for the Ajax Tab Content script to load. That way, when the form gets submitted, the result stays in the iframe, which in turn is contained within the tab content.

well its not hard to echo back the result, but how do you keep it within the content tab? thats what i am asking.

I am using ColdFusion scripting and this might be exactly what I am looking for!
