ASP Javascript CDOSYS Form to Email Example

I'm in need of a ASP Javascript CDOSYS Form to Email Example. All I've found so far is examples for VBScript and I can't seem to convert it across.

sajuks

CDOSYS works only at the server level . Javascript will be used only to check client side validans.
Cbscript is used might be only for validn.
What are you looking for ? Maybe if you post what you've got and explain what you want we might
be able to help you.

I use JScript/JavaScript as the ASP Programming Language.

I have multiple forms that previously used CDONTS, but I want to use CDOSYS and need code examples in JavaScript. The only examples I can find are coded in VBScript.

sajuks

the mail that is sent using CDOSYS is ASP language. Javascript doent come in the picture over here.
Thats why am trying to find out why you need javascript ? is it to validate your form or what ?
An example or a link would be better to illustarte your problem

sajuks

Its an example using dreamweaver, but it might be what you are searching for

Do you program ASP? If yes, What Language do you use?

I USE JAVASCRIPT.

I use JavaScript for ASP (Active Server Pages) which runs at the server (Server Side).

I will be using JavaScript for validation (Client Side) when I have completed the Form and CDOSYS Page.

Thanks but that example uses VBScript, not JavaScript.

sajuks

Did you check the code . its a n asp page with javascrip validn done to ensure that no fields are empty.
If valid the form calls the thankyou.asp page which calls the CDOSYS object.
What can be simpler than that.
I hope you dont think that you can call this without asp ?

Check my profile. I believe it speaks for itself.

Yes am involved in various web server languages like asp,jsp,php,powerdynamo.
Client side i prefer javascript.

What i want to simply state is that create a simple asp page save it something like mail.asp
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<form action="thankyou.asp" method="post" name="fmcontact" id="fmcontact" onsubmit="return yourvalidn()">
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" tabindex="1" onfocus="this.select();" size="50" />
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" tabindex="1" size="50" />
<textarea name="Details" cols="45" rows="10" id="Details" tabindex="1"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="1" />
</form>
</body>

use the thankyou.asp page and se if it works or not.I believe you are getting a bit confused

sajuks

Heres a simple validn script which i presume is soemthing you wanted to be sure i knew what you are talking about
// mail.asp page
<% %>
<head>
<script>
function yourvalidn()
{
if ( document.fmcontact.Name.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Enter Name")
return false
}
if ( document.fmcontact.Email.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Enter Email")
return false
}
if ( document.fmcontact.Details.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Enter Details")
return false
}
return true
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="thankyou.asp" method="post" name="fmcontact" id="fmcontact" onsubmit="return yourvalidn()">
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" tabindex="1" onfocus="this.select();" size="50" />
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" tabindex="1" size="50" />
<input name="Details" cols="45" rows="10" id="Details" >
<input type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="1" />
</form></td>
</body>

the thankyou.asp page you already have

You might have a great looking profile, but that doesn't mean a thing if you don't understand me.

This is some of what you have sent me:
******************************************************************
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<form action="thankyou.asp" method="post" name="fmcontact" id="fmcontact" onsubmit="return yourvalidn()">
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" tabindex="1" onfocus="this.select();" size="50" />
<input name="Email" type="text" id="Email" tabindex="1" size="50" />
<textarea name="Details" cols="45" rows="10" id="Details" tabindex="1"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="1" />
</form>
</body>
******************************************************************

May I point out this line:
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>

It tells the server that the programming script used is VBScript not JavaScript as I have stated till I am blue in the face.

Also validation JavaScript is not an issue, I can write that script myself.

In my next comment I will give you an example of my JavaScript ASP.

Example Code:

*****************************************************************
<%@ Language=JavaScript %>
<%
var folderPrefix = "";
var navTitle = "home";
var pageTitle = "Home";
%>

<%
function getLeftNav()
{
      var sOut = "";
      sOut += openTable("left",leftWidth, "", navTitle);
      sOut += "<tr><td width=\"196\"></td></tr></table>";
      return sOut;
}
*****************************************************************

This is the first section of the default.asp page.

Will check it out in the next hour.

Did you understand what I was saying in above discussion.

kGenius

The discussion was about the Script Language you can use on a ASP-page?
You use JScript (or Javascript), sajuks thought you could only use VBscript to make ASP. Wich is not true. VB is the most used Server sided script (javascript the most client-sided script) But they work both fine server-sided. You can even use other languages (third-party lang) in ASP scripts. The third-party languages should be installed then.
So it was an unusefull discussion. But I found it funny, because you were talking next to each other. Correct me if I thought wrong =)
Hope the script works. I'm not that good in Javascript server-sided.

Hope the script works, I can use the points ;)

It's the best thing I've found yet, can you tell me where you found/learnt this example.

In reference to the discussion I knew that "sajuks" didn't quite understand me but I understood him, strange on his part because he is a JavaScript Expert apparently.

Sorry to split it but surely he needs some encouragement.
