You can do this using the image on load technique including a redirect to a landing page. There is an app in the exchange that has this built in to it so you can copy/paste & learn.

Here are links link to videos Kirk Trachy put together detailing the functionality:

    Hi Adam. Quick Base has native features to support redirects in certain workflow scenarios. We would highly suggest native supported features as we are unable to support or maintain javascript injection techniques and they may break in the future.

    If there is a feature you'd like to see that you don't think we have as it relates to these workflows, definitely submit feedback on Uservoice.

      Can you provide more details on redirects? Let's say I have an online form for anyone on the internet to submit. Currently, when they hit submit, it takes them to a QB login page. How can I set it up to just display a message like "Thanks. Your form has been submitted"?

        A Low Tech solution is to simply make a Rick Text Page with a nice thank you message.  Then make a URL formula button to display that page.

        URLRoot() & "db/" & "xxxxxxxx" & "?a=showpage&pageID=3"

        change xxxxx to the main app code in the URL off the home page.
        Change the 3 to the ID# of the thank you page.

        Ensure that Advanced properties of the table are set to  
        Auto save when redirected away from the page
         

        Typically you will direct the user to an add record form with the suffix of the URL is 

        &ifv=1 so as to suppress the native Quickbase headings.

        like
