View 2 RepliesI'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]

I have created this form. I would like to use javascript to mail the form to the selected email from the selection list when the submit button is pressed.
<form name="Contact Us" id="contact" action="mailto:" method="post">
<fieldset id="selection">
Who would you like to email:
<select>
<option value="email1" >email1</option>
<option value="email2" >email2</option>
<option value="email3">email3</option>
</select>
<fieldset id="Name" >
Name
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname">
E-mail
<input type="text" id="email" name="email">
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="question">
Comments and Questions
<input type="text" id="comment" name="comment" style="width: 500; height: 300">

</form>
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)">
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.
I'm trying to build an online form which has different recipients. So i'd be something like: Weather user select any of the optiions (where multiple recipients are) depending on that selection that's where the output will go to an specific email address.

but does not do so for web based email:-

Is there a script that would ensure that I can compose an email complete
with address, subject line and some body text that will indeed work with
gmail, hotmail and so on please?
I've set up some reasonably simple order forms whereby people fill in the quantities and it is submitted as a 'mailto' email to my client. All straightforward stuff - works perfectly on my mac, but when tested on ths client's PC, or others, doesn't happen. I then changed this to a remote hosted cgi action formail, and still the same result! Maybe these people don't have 'sendmail' but does that explain it not working with a cgi?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am building a stand alone html help system (.chm.) So the usual woes with
mailto are not going to be encountered. Likewise I am ensured all my
intended users have Outlook installed. With that said This is what I want
to do.
I have a simple html form with a an radio button option group, a listmenu, a
text box, and a text area. What I would like to do is have a user fill out
this form, and hit a button that sends the results via outlook. The TO, CC,
and subject fields will be hard coded. I want the option from the list menu
on line one, the radio button on line two, the text box on line three and
the multi-line text area starting on line 4.
I haqve searched the web, and groups all day to no avail. Everything I have
tried simply fails. I even tried breaking this down into a simple one text
box one button, with no good results via javascript. I can get it to work ok
without javscript, but instead of new lines they just overwrite each other.
I"m trying to send mail to multi users, but i doesn"t succeded/I doesn"t know how to add all the mails that i selected to the mailto tag.

How do I add a hyperlink within a JavaScript alert box? And how would I add a mailto link within a JavaScript alert box? I've read the post a few below mine with the response being to use a DIV instead. How would I do that?
I am planning on using the maito form with Javascript. I have a form and it is structured in the following fashion:
<form>
<b>Subject </b> <input type="text" name="subject" size="30"><br>
<b>Person 1 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person1@email.com"><br>
<b>Person 2 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person2@email.com"><br>
<b>Person 3 <b><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="person3@email.com"><br>
<input type="submit" onclick="submit">
</form>
What I am trying to do with Javascript is that you fill out the subject name and then you select which recipients of email you want to receive the email. So if I select Checkbox 1 and Checkbox 3 then when I click submit, it opens my Outlook and the To is filled in with person1@email.com;person2@email.com. So I guess I would need the javascript to populate and <href mailto: form after checking which names are checked and then populating the mailto with the variable that contains the list of names I chose. Right now we have a clunky method using the mailto but I don't have the option of choosing who it mails to so when I send it, I send the mail to everyone, even those on vacation.
I am trying to figure out how to take the input id clientName as the email address in the mailto: I can't seem to get it to work as is.

<title>Chattell</title>

I have a requirement to send an Email thru Javascript in HTML format. PFA Attached sample EMail HTML. Requirements are
* Make sure we use Times NEw Roman size 10 font for the message text
* Make sure we BOLD the text value..
I know it's achievable only thru some HTML identifying logic or use of some HTML tags inside javascript like document.write etc..but even after trying my best available options i couldnt achieve the same..
I am pasting a sample EMail HTML, and if you can edit it n send to me back with sample code how to send EMail in HTML format using Javasscript, it would be of immense help
If its not feasible, plz also reply back so that I could go back to Customer and tell that its not feasible. Code:
I have a div that contains simple text data with line breaks. I want to append a mailto link to the email address but so far I have not been able to select the email.
The container looks something like this:
My first intention was to use a filter like:
But I found out that I couldn't apply it since the container had no children. So I used a function first to wrap the elements into span tags and then applied 'find':
i'm a newbie on jquery i'm studying it with the latest version, and following a book called "Learning Jquery" but iencountered a error, and i don't know what the problem is:
i copied the code from the book like this:$('a[@href^="mailto:"]').addClass('mailto'); to try to change the links which start with "mailto" to the new class "mailto" but there's a error reported: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [@href^="mailto:"]
I have a form built and on the onclick event I validate all of the
fields and then if the form is ok, on the submit event I run a
javascript function to set a cookie and download a file from the
current window.
I have a cgi script provided by my web host to send the contents of the
form through email but they only show me how to use the cgi script to
send email through the submit event of the form.
ie. <form name="downloadform" method="post"
action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/mailtemp.txt" onSubmit="return
Validate(this)">
Can I utilize the cgi script/link from my javascript function and still
send the contents of the form through the cgi email??
I've been struggling trying to get a small order form to work the way I want it to. Here is a link to the live page: [URL] And here is the code in question:
[Code]...
I have two questions...
Question 1 How can I make this piece of script act a little smarter. Look at the order form, I'm catering for up to 4 people and providing lunch for them. If they select 3 people and the spaghetti bol for lunch, it's only adding $10 where it should be adding $30. Obviously this is simple multiplication but since the values in my form are prices it makes it a little tricky. I'm guessing an onselect on the first part of the form which changes the pricing of the other items would be the way to go, but how do I do this?
Question 2 The "Total Price" is placed before the <form> tag by the script. This is ok but it's not where I want it. How can I position this text elsewhere in the document?
How does one cause a form element to appear ONLY if a certain form selection is made before it?
That is for example say there is a form element of type Radio called "format" so only if they select format value = normal then the form input fields called URL and Name are to appear as the next choices otherwise form input field Group and checklist Places are to appear as the next choices.
How would I put this together so,
<input name="input1" type="text">
<input name="input2" value="whatever is typed into input1" type="text">
I would like to be able to type something in input1, and see it type
into input2
I am having a problem with the submit() method that is driving me nuts. I'm using document.form.submit() with large text fields (approx. 2000 characters) and am getting a "Invalid Syntax" error. If I do the same thing with a text field of under 1500 characters, it works fine.
Is there some size limit here that I don't know about?
I've have a function to take the value entered in a form text box, add 50 to it and put the result in another text box.
When I enter 650.5 I get 700.5 exactly how I'd expect. But when I enter -650.5 instead of getting -600.5 I get -650.050 as though it is failing to parse the float due to it being negative. My understanding of parseFloat was that it recognises negative numbers. Is there a nice simple way to get this to work?
