Need Help WIth "SEND A LINK" Script!

A user from coldfusion-howto group in yahoo shared this with and I can't get a hold of him to help me getting it to work.  Can someone help me getting it to work by <--REMARKING--> it as much as possible? (The most advance aspects of the code i.e function isValidemail and so on--I understands HTML)

Sendlink.CFM > EMAILLINK.CFM to open in a new browser window is fine. The REAL problem, evidently is in the javcode because the "CLICK HERE TO SEND" link does not process.

Thank You,

Charlie Perez

OK, The confirmation window comes up, but we have another problem.  No email gets sent out.  Can you help me to cure this problem?  

I noticed on the code "="javascript:document.wmForm.clickMap.value='sendEmail';document.wmForm...."

WHat is the sendEmail.  I'm using the coldfusion server and there aren't any CDMAIL tags....

Thank You.

Do you know someone that could help me to troubleshoot my Exchange Server to find out why CF is not sending the messages.

The mail.log files
gives a 550 Relaying Deneied error.  So I know CF if is function properly.

As best as I've been able to troubleshoot, my relay settings are correct.

I posted a help request on this site for an Exchange Expert but I have not receive a response yet...

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated..

I was great to see it working for a few times.  I even fixed the Exchange Issues.  Here is the ERROR. I checked the syntax for FROM in CFMAIL and it seems to be fine.

Thanks Again.

Variable TITLE is undefined.

Thank You...The form is processing without validating at all.  Sorry, no error messages it simply goes on without vailidating.

I tried the new code, but it dooesn't seem to work.  Could it be perhaps because of running a JavaScript and CF together...?

Thank you....

I was editing the tables on the emailink.cfm form--have not touched the CF or Java coding and this is what comes up.... ANy ideas why....?

Error Occurred While Processing Request  
Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL.  
The value of the attribute TO is invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be greater than or equal to 1 character(s).  
 
The error occurred in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\SendALink\mailit.cfm: line 8

OK.  I got the form to work again.  Pretty much I kept the original...This is the error that I get if I try sending without filling out the email feilds.....

Charlie

Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL.  
The value of the attribute TO is invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be greater than or equal to 1 character(s).  
 
The error occurred in C:\InetPub\wwwroot\SendLinkOriginal\mailit.cfm: line 8
 
6 : <CFPARAM name="wmURL" DEFAULT=" ">
7 :
8 : <CFMAIL FROM="NewsRoom@FairTaxUSA.Org"
9 :         TO="#wmTo#"
10 :         BCC="charlie@heloc.net"

I'm trying to implement the SEND A LINK TO The site and it isn't working. MY site's home page is a .cfm file. when I copy and pasted the the link it isn't working.  I made sure it was looking to the right test server.  I think the problem lies where I have an entry that looks for other Java scripts in the scripts folder.

EXAMPLE: <script language="JavaScript1.2" src="../scripts/main2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I linked the words Send This To A friend with: javascript:void(open('http://192.168.1.15/SendLinkOriginal/emaillink.cfm?&lurl=
'+escape(location.href)+'&amp;title='+escape(document.title),'click','height
=555,width=437,title=no,location=no,scrollbars=no,menubars=no,toolbars=no,r
esizable=no'))

Could it be that it is looking for a Java Script in the Scripts folder?  If so would you what part of the script goes in the scripts folder and what do I need to call it back...?

Thank you...DO you know how I can increase the points on this question...

ok here r the Chk points for u:

1. the "to" field value is going NULL ! [Chk it]
2. javascript & CF can work together - no problem at all.
3. if validation is going off without validating - u need to chk the return parameter used when ur validating ur form.
eg: <form OnSubmit="return JavaScriptFunctionName()" >
4. the script folder path needs to be mapped properly from where this cfm file is placed. if the mapping in not correct - it may never find ur .js file & wldnt get ur validations right !
5. abt incaresing points - we can decide later on ... once u have ur things working properly

Let me give you a link for you to access.  Check out the code for the java folder.  Does that mean that I would need to put the validation scripting within the folder for it to work properly....?

http://www.fairtaxusa.org/TestSite/newsroom.cfm

Note Tell-A-Friend Not active yet....

2.  As I expressed initially, This is all new to me so if you could explain in layman terms (1) and (3) I'd appreciated very much. If I send the message without imputting any information on the boxes, a CF server message comes up in the window.

Thank You...

abt point 1. in ur code
<CFPARAM name="wmURL" DEFAULT=" ">
<CFMAIL FROM="NewsRoom@FairTaxUSA.Org"
TO="#wmTo#"
BCC="charlie@heloc.net"

the value of "wmto" is NULL - this shldnt be the case when ur sending the email so ti shld have some valid email address to it

abt point 3. assuming i have the following code [pls copy paste in a new file & run it to see how it works]

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function valthisform()
{
   alert('Hi I am validating ur form')
   return false;
}
</SCRIPT>

<form OnSubmit="return valthisform()">
   <input type="submit">
</form>

I hope the above helps u to understand things

OK.  I copied your code to a page and when I view in browser and press the submit, I get the "Hi I am validating ur form"

By the way the link is

The good news is that it alerts.  However, it continues to alert even with the fields properly filled out. It won't process...

Thank You.

ok atleast we r into next phase now.

so i hope uve learned the logic abt validating the forms ... good :)

ok now abt it not validating properly !

replace ur javascript code with this that i use for my sites

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function wmverify()
{
    var sCont = document.wmForm.wmMail;
    var sContVal = document.wmForm.wmMail.value;
                   
    var str=new String();
    str=sContVal;
    var span=new RegExp("[ ]","g");
    var rep=str.replace(span,"9");          
                   
    if (sContVal.length != 0)
    {
        if(sContVal == ''  || isNaN(rep) == false)
        {
            alert("You must enter a valid email address in the Your Email Address field");
            sCont.focus();
            sCont.select();
            return false;
        }                        
                                               
        var sAtSym    = sContVal.indexOf('@')
        var sAtSym2       = sContVal.lastIndexOf('@')
        var sPeriod   = sContVal.lastIndexOf('.')
        var sSpace    = sContVal.indexOf(' ')
        var sLength   = sContVal.length - 1  
                             
        if ( (sAtSym < 2) || (sAtSym != sAtSym2) || (sPeriod <= sAtSym+2) || (sPeriod == sLength ) || (sSpace  != -1) )                  
        {
            alert("You must enter a valid email address in the Your Email Address field");
            sCont.focus();
            sCont.select();
            return false;
        }                          
                             
        if ((sContVal.indexOf('<')!= -1)||(sContVal.indexOf('>')!= -1)||(sContVal.indexOf('/')!= -1))

Anand,

We're almost there....This is what's happening. If a user attempt to make a wrong entry, it prompts invalid email or name. However, if either or both of the entries are left blank I get the following CF server message....Is there a way of adding an "if blank" coding into the js....?

Thanks.

PS sorry it took me a few days....!
