Lotus Notes Mailto: Form Action Workaround?
Mar 23, 2007
mailto protocol and Notes v6.5.5 which duplicates the address in the To: field (not a valid email address) and/or posts form data in the To:, cc, or Subject: field rather than in the body of the email where it belongs. I created an entire site relying on the mailto: protocol to submit requests. (Can't use either server side apps or cgi email. Don't ask - it's a long and rediculous story.) Anyway, then we got the new release of Notes and the whole thing has been rendered useless for request submissions.
Is it possible to write a script that will duplicate the mailto: form action and keep it client side? Big hurdle is that it has to pull info from all types of form elements, just like the mailto: protocol does with email clients that actually support it properly.

currently we are having a scenario wherein in a JSP page we invoke the Microsoft Outlook client (open the Outlook client) using ActiveX api.. This we are doing using a java Script function which is called when the JSP page gets loaded. The body of the email is pre populated in a HTML format when the Outlook client opens up.Now we have a requirement wherein we need to open up the Lotus Notes client in a similar way ..Could someone please advise/help how this could be achieved ..whether there are some standard api's which could be used here.
2. Also in case there are 10 users who are using microsoft outlook as their email client while the other 10 users are using lotus notes for emailing..then in this case how could this be handled..

I am trying to create a javascript library in Lotus Notes , I am pasting in the jquery code into my library but it will not compile. Is this a jQuery syntax error or Lotus Notes error you think? I get the same problem with the 1.4.2 release of jQuery.

I'm trying to do some javascript form validation and I've discovered a
rather difficult situation to handle with IE.
Let's say there's a form with three input fields named "name",
"method", or "length". Whenever my javascript tries to access the
form's name or length, and the form happens to have input fields named
"name" and "length", I'm actually accessing the input fields and there
seems to be no way to access those properties of the form.
I have an easy workaround for form.length, so there's no need to give
me a workaround for that one, but there's a bigger issue with fields
like name, method, action, etc.
For example, using document.forms[0].name to get the name of the form
seems to map to document.forms[0].elements["name"] istead of the
actual name of the form. Is there a work around for this? I am
writing some generic form validation code, and I can't expect the
person implementing my form validation code to avoid using "name" and
"length" as names for their form fields.

I have come across a very interesting problem that seems to be impossible to solve. Basically a web application that I am working on relies on a JavaScript function called go to change the input named view to the page name and submit the form. This form's type is post, so no values are included in the actual URL string. There is also another input called action and it's value is view. This is to tell the application that the user would like to view a page. The problem is because of the variables being of method post, page refreshes and back and forwards return errors because the post variables view and action aren't sent with the required data. To somewhat solve this problem I have created a feature that tells the application that if the post value page is empty then to try and get a GET var called page. To insert this var into the go javascript function I simple add this code
document.go.action = document.go.action+"&page="+page;
This line basically adds &page=[page] to the action of the form. The problem is, this code doesn't work because action is also the name of a form element. Referencing document.go.action refers to the input element named action and not to the form's action. Changing the named of the action input value is out of the question (Way to much changing of code, and possible room for error). What can I do to change the action of the form without referencing the input named action. Here is my go form and the JavaScript code:
<form name="go" action"index.php?sid=123" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="view" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="" />
</form>
[Code]....

I'm not aware of JS-Scripting, so I used phpform.org to create a contact form for my website. Now they give me the download link, but without the opportunity to send the data put in via mail (senseless demo-stuff). Now I count on you to find the area where to add the code for sending (all) the data to an emailadress. Here is the whole form in a zip file: [URL]

Attached is the code. It does open the email but does not send any information.
<!-- Table 2 for the Content -->
<form name="orders" onsubmit="return confirmSubmit()" onreset="return window.confirm('Are you sure you want to reset your Orders.'); " action="mailto:lynette@sayorkies.co.za" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
// Function to Confirm certain conditions and confirm to proceed with order
function confirmSubmit() {
var itemsOrdered = true;
if (document.forms[2].totalExcl.value == 0 || document.forms[2]delivery.value == 0) {
itemsOrdered = false;
}
if(itemsOrdered != true) {
window.alert("You have not chosen any products to purchase or No Delivery Option selected.");
return false;
}
var submitOrder = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to place the order?");
if(submitOrder == true)
return true;
return false;
}
// Function to calculate order value
function calculateValue(orders) {
var orderValue = 0; .....

I found a script on this forum that does almost what I want from this thread: [URL]. Instead of a dropdown, I'd like to have a list of names using check boxes, so that you have the option to send an email to one or all of the people. When you choose your selections and click submit, an outlook email will pop up with your selections in the to: field.
Here's the solution using a drop down, this works (and works well), but doesn't quite do what I need :
<form name="Contact_Us" id="contact" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit = "getEml()">
<fieldset id="selection">
Who would you would like to email:
<select name = "sel">
<option value="email1@email.com" >email 1</option>
<option value="email2@email.com" >email 2</option>
<option value="email3@email.com" >email 3</option>
</select>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit the form">
</form>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function getEml() {
var emailaddress = document.Contact_Us.sel.value;
window.location = "mailto:" + emailaddress;
}
</script>
Is there a way to use checkboxes but to do the same thing?
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name1@email.com">name 1<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name2@email.com">name 2<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name3@email.com">name 3<BR>

I have a form that i wish the entered fields to be emailed to 2 addresses; my address (bcc) and the email address that the user has entered in the email field on the form. Before you say it, I know that 'mailto' is not a recommended method but it the only one I can use (due to restrictions at work). Below is the code I am using but it doesn't seem to like [document.forms.request.email.value]. I know it works (including the validation) when I just enter an email address in the code but it doesn't using the email form field.
<FORM NAME='request'
ACTION="mailto:[document.forms.request.email.value]?subject=Room Request&bcc=katymorgan@morleycollege.ac.uk"
enctype="text/plain"
METHOD= "POST" TARGET="_blank"
onSubmit="return validateForm(request)">

I have a very weired problem (which is not easy to describe.. but I'll do my best):I have a html page with several forms , only one of the got the action="ComputeAndReturn" and the other forms got only name="" tag.the problem is that after i submit the form with the action , and than after a computatioon it returns to the original page, now... if i will submit any of the forms without the action=.they will act as if they were defined action="ComputeAndReturn" (altho they are not!)if they were defined from the first time with action="anything", and than i would submit the form with action="ComputeAndReturn" this problem would not appear (the other forms will keep their action="anything" and would not "imitate" the action= "Compute AndReturn" to them selfs...
any ideas how can i keep my forms without action="" , cause all i need them to do is be submitted to pass the submitted value to other form inside that page.[code]

I am creating JS objects that have some properties that contain DOM nodes, and some of these DOM nodes have event listeners attached to them. When I delete such objects, do I first need to remove the event listeners attached to some of the DOM nodes? And do I need to use removeChild on the DOM nodes that are properties of the object? Or does JavaScript take care of all that?

I have a form which needs posting the php script below. (I sent my vars to a
cookie, which I have read correctly). This is the form command used in
hoping to process my information.
<form method="POST" action="scripts/WebContractor.php" name="bizinfo"
id="bizinfo">
Since most of this is new to me, please let me ramble in my thought process.
1. post the vars to a cookie
2. post the form pointing to the php script
3. read the vars in the php script
4. send the info from within the script
When I submit my form, I receive a dialog box stating the downloading this
file can be dangerous. What happens is the php script is downloaded to my
desktop - not executed. Code:

I have a form with a name, and action, a post method.
In rare occasion I want the form action to be different to the default
action, so I do this: document.formName.action = "newURL";
This works fine under Mozilla, but does not work under IE5, 5.5 or 6,
it says: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?

When I run the following code, none of the set's are being done. Most important one for me is the action attribute.

I have a form with two <button> elements. One button loads the page with the associated form data whilst the other triggers a download. IE6/7 does not handle <button> tags correctly. IE6 will submit all buttons regardless of which you click and uses the button content as the value, instead of the value as the value. IE7 submits just the clicked button, but still submits the content as the value, not the value.
To get around IE's issues with <button> I use JS to manipulate the DOM so hidden input fields are generated with the correct value and the button names are removed so they're not submitted at all.
This works, except in my specific situation for my download button. Because it triggers a download, the page you are on remains, and remains with the manipulated DOM, which means the form doesn't work properly anymore.
I would like to know if there's a trigger of some sort that would allow me to revert the DOM changes when the form is submitted but the page remains. I hope that makes sense. Oh, and there's no need to suggest using <input type="button" /> instead of <button>. That's not a solution.

i have a css/div box, and i have a login form. what im tryn to do is make it so that when i login, it it takes whats in the action of the form and shows it in the div box. the div box is like one of those cool popup boxes, it's done by using javascript and css.
anyway, the div box works. the login form works. i just haven't been able to figure out how to get it to appear in the div instead of into a new page.
here's my code:
<head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="popup.css" /></head>
<form name="Login" method="post" action="login/check.php">

I'm having a bit of problem writing some javascript that will dynamically update the 'action' of a form when the form is submitted.
Its for an Image Upload script which performs a binary read on the uploaded image, meaning I have to POST the form, but must pass any additional parameters to the Image Upload script via the querystring.
Code:
My submitform() function needs to set the action of form5 to :

I want to change attribute action in form. Problem is that in that form
is also input with name action. Unfortunately renaming of that input is
worst case because many servlets depend on it.
This works in konqueror but not in IE and Mozilla:
newurl= document.forms[i].getAttribute('action');
newurl= newurl.replace('all/', prefix);
document.forms[i].action= newurl;
Do you have any idea how to modify attribute action in this case ?
