Stop New Tab From Opening

Question

I'm using mailchimp to create a signup sheet and every time the submit button is pressed, a new tab will open that confirms your subscription to the mailchimp email list. I want it to run as a sort of background process where no new tab is opened at all but the form is still submitted. Here is the code I currently have with MailChimp:

div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="//standrtech.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=c330585c1144a0dd4bfd6d0df&amp;id=b7e663bdf4" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
    <div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll">
        <h2></h2>
    <div class="mc-field-group">
        <label for="mce-EMAIL">Email Address </label>
        <input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="Enter your email">
    </div>
        <div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
            <div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
            <div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
        </div>    <!--real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signup-->
        <div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;"><input type="text" name="b_c330585c1144a0dd4bfd6d0df_b7e663bdf4" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
            <div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Get Early Access" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button" onclick="submission();"></div>
    </div>
</form>

Answer 1

I know I am a little too late for this, but I have found the solution for future references.

For 'classic' form only

Looks like the HTML code is not copied properly. In the mailchimp embed form dashboard, look for the scripts after the outer div, the one containing the form, these scripts will validate your form. My embed form has two scripts after the outer div :

<script type='text/javascript' src='//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js'></script>

and

<script type='text/javascript'>(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>

second script may vary depending upon your form fields, but I think you definitely need to add the mc-validate.js to resolve this issue.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

从form标签中删除target="_blank" 。

Answer 3

in my case, it is because of the form validation script. i removed the script and do a simple email input text validation on my own.
