Making the form hidden/invisible after validation

Hello!

I have a registration form on the page. After the form I have an ASP code that collects the information, validates it and after the validation inserting the data to the DB and sending a confirmation email and presenting a Welcome message. It all happens on the same page.
Now what I want, is after everything was validated and the email was sent, I want to hide the form, make it invisible.
How can this be done?

In the past I used to have this JavaScript code on my page:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function show_hide(msg_id){
msg_id.style.display=msg_id.style.display=="none" ? "" : "none"
}
</SCRIPT>

Then I had a link with this code:

Code:

<A href=javascript:show_hide(readcomments) class="menulink">Read comments</a>

And I had a TD tag with an ID "readcomments":

Code:

<td id=""readcomments"" style=""display:none; "">

So I had to click on the link to make this TD invisible. Perhaps it can be done automatically, without clicking the link?
Or is there another way?

Thank you very much!

is it not possible on your page just to use redirection after validating your form?

Code:

<% response.redirect = "page.asp?showform=yes" %>

'===========

<%
showform = "yes";
if showform = request.querystring("yes") then
%>
<form></form>
<%end if%>

I'm not very good with it, so I didn't exactly understand where would I put this code? If I use the redirection, wouldn't the Welcome message disappear?
Could you take a look at my code, please? I'm attaching zipped ASP file... The messages there are in Hebrew.

Thank you!
