How to prevent a Mailchimp custom form from being redirected to submit?
I have created a custom Mailchimp registration form on a web page that I am working on. It's okay, except that I don't like the way the form is redirected to a new tab when submitting, which has a message from Mailchimp in which you indicated that you joined the list of emails. I am wondering if it is possible to prevent this redirect and perhaps just pop up a thank you message.
HTML:
<form action="//gohrvst.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=b96980cf3047250aab16b3c44&id=e6441c7cba" id="subscribe" method="POST" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form2" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
<label for="mail">SIGN UP FOR OUR MAILING LIST</label>
<p class="form-status-text"></p>
<!-- /.form-status-text -->
<div class="form-controls no-border">
<div class="form-group no-border">
<input type="hidden" name="side" value="creativeagency" class="no-border" />
<input type="email" id="mail" name="MERGE0" value="ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS" class="subscribe-field no-border" required data-validation-type="['presence', 'email']" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS';}"
onfocus="if (this.value == 'ENTER EMAIL ADDRESS') {this.value = '';}">
</div><!-- /.form-group -->
<button type="submit" class="subscribe-btn" id="subscribe-button">
<div class="subscribe-btn-svg">

Maybe you can do it with Ajax in jQuery, try something like this
$(document).ready( function () {
var $form = $('#mc-embedded-subscribe-form2');
if ( $form.length > 0 ) {
$('form input[type="submit"]').bind('click', function ( event ) {
if ( event ) event.preventDefault();
register($form);
});
}
});
function register($form) {
$.ajax({
type: $form.attr('method'),
url: $form.attr('action'),
data: $form.serialize(),
cache : false,
dataType : 'json',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
error : function(err) { alert("Could not connect to the registration server. Please try again later."); },
success : function(data) {
if (data.result != "success") {
// Something went wrong, do something to notify the user. maybe alert(data.msg);
} else {
// It worked, carry on...
}
}
});
}
