What i want to do is have the user save the changes they have made to the list item in the edit form and then when the save is completed redirect them to another location instead of refresching the page which Sharepoint does standard.
I want the exact behavior of the edit form standard save button with all the field validation except the refresh that happens when the save is completed. Is it possible to do this with javascript?
Any other suggestions to tackle this problem is appreciated.
You can redirect to a different location after the user saves the item on the form by altering the 'Source=' querystring parameter. Set it to the location you want to redirect people to after saving.
