Form Problem

[ken]

Hi everybody,

I needed to create a HTML form and allow users to enter data into the
form. Then the form data is posted to someone according to the email address,
for example, "mailto:abc@abc.com", when the submit button of the form is
pressed.

I find that from ccmail, the form data is concentrated together with "&"
as a seperator. Is there any suggestion using asp to process data and then
send to receiver by only pressing the submit button ? The received email
data is clearly seen line by line for each field corresponding to the form.

Thanks in advance.

Ken,
I'm not sure of what you're trying to do here. Are you actually posting
the form and then processing the form on the server to then send the email
or are you doing stuff on the client?

If you're using Request.Form on the server, all the fields are separated
by "&". To pull the fields out of the request.form, using Request.Form.Fields("subject")
and Request.Form.Fields("notes") (or whatever your field names are).

Are you actually posting to the email address (i.e. your Form element's Action
property is set to the email address)? If so (and I didn't know that could
be done), I would think there'd be a better way to simply send an email.

If you must do it that way, my guess is that you should put only one actual
field in your form (but keep your other fields on the page outside the form),
then in your formname_OnSubmit function, pull all the data out of the other
fields and put them in the one form field, maybe separating them by CR LF's
(Chr(10) Chr(13)), and submit the form (by not returning false from the function).
