Ok then lets try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function display_alert()
  {
  alert("Thank You! Your Inquiry has posted successfully.");
  }
</script>

If that worked, please remember to mark this thread as solved. Maybe you could even give me some reputation points....I just joined so I am still a newbie :)

1. It will not alert your message because you are already returning a value [1 or 0] from the function. Once you return a value, you are out of the function. Either return the value after the alert, or simply, put the alert after the function call.
2. It's not advisable to have any echo/print statements before calling the header function [not even a simple html tag]. This will generate a warning, which can be overridden by using ob_start. :)

http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascriptredirect.php Check this for javascript redirection if you can't use header.

Try this in place of that:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.alert("Thank You! Your Inquiry has posted successfully.")
</script>
