Variable email address

Hi,

I have a simple webpage that was designed in Frontpage. It has a form with a submit button on it. What I want to do is simply to ask the user to type in the email address of who they want to submit this form to for approval. I know that the submit button can send an email to a fixed email address, but how do I get it to pick up the address the user types in and use that?

To my knowledge, Front page does not allow that. You can use ASP scripts to achieve this.

gator4life,

Thanks, that works well, the next question it though, I want it to submit the entries in any text box, check box or radio button that the user has typed. How do I then incorporate that into the form?

gator4life

Any data that is input into the form can be sent within the email by adding 'enctype="text/plain"' to the <form> tag, like so (builds on my example from above):

<form name="myForm" action="" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit="SetAction(this)">

I should warn you that this method of sending data will have the form fields' names listed alongside the data within the email.

Is there any way to format the email at all?

Yes there is, but without using a server-side scripting language, it is going to take a little bit of work. I could ramble on about how to do it, but it would be easier if you posted the code you are using to capture the user information, and then I could show you how to format it in the way you want.

Spent some small amount of time on trying to answer this post...provided a workable solution, but the poster wanted something else and never responded back. Should at least have gotten a B for my solution, since it did what they wanted.
