HTML - Form Data Not Passing To Email
Hi
This is my first post so trust I don't breach any protocols. I'm creating a form that will send data from the form to an email. I have done this many times before with no problem but suddenly it is failing to do so. The main form has approx24 data fields so in case this was a problem, created a simple form with 2 text fields and a submit button but this wouldn't work either. My default Editor is dreamweaver MX and outlook as my email. Not being sure if it is my code, editor or email system causing the problem I have tried all variations using Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver CS3, Frontpage and in desperation Pagebreeze with Outlook, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm pulling my hair out. Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

Has anyone had the same problem and solved it ? Similar TutorialsHey guys, I'm fairly new to programming web forms on my own. (I've used some Joomla/Mambo components that eased the process). I understand the basics of forms and what not, but was curious as to what the best way to pass variables from an email (pre-filled) to a form would be without using Server-Side Scripting of any kind. (I could easily write a PHP page to do so, but on this specific project I don't have access to any kind of scripting on the server side). I have thought about doing it one of two ways. The first way would be to write some Javascript that saves the fields I need as cookies and then calling those cookies back on the webform. The other way, was to pass the variables through the URL. I don't know if this is possible without Server-Side Scripting or not. I'm sure I could hack up some sort of Javascript code to read the URL and break it into the relevant variables but that seems like a lot of work for something so simple. Is there a way to use the GET method at all to pull those variables from the URL? Also, sorry for not posting this in the Client-Side Scripting forum, but I wasn't sure if there were other solutions to this problem that wouldn't require any scripting at all. Thanks Again, -Ian- Ok, this sounds extremely easy but I'm more of a designer and less of a coder. I'll try and explain what I want to accomplish. I spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday searching for a solution. Alas, I need some assistance! We have a page where users can view a report in a PDF format from a drop down. Also on that page we need to have a place where they can select an option from a drop down and email the PDF to them. Now, we have the link set up. I can take a sample link, add my email address to the end of it, hit enter and it shoots me an email. The question is how can I take what the user inputs into a form and pass it into a URL. All that needs to happen is to send the user to that URL and have the URL be correct. At that point the email gets sent automatically. My best attempt so far gets me to the URL but things like &, =, etc are replaced by %3D and %26. The URL won't work that way. I'll post that code: Code: <FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?">
<select name="unitfuel">
<option selected>Select Month</option>
<option value="year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax">January 2009 </option>
<option value="year=09&month=02&reportName=UnitTax">February 2009</option>
</select>
Type in your email address:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="&email=">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send email">
</FORM>
Here is what I get in the URL: (sorry had to place it in html tags because the link was only half showing up.) HTML Code: https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?unitfuel=year%3D09%26month%3D01%26reportName%3DUnitTax&%26email%3D=test@testmail.com Also, notice that "unitfuel" gets appended to the URL as well. It gets passed into the URL and that will likely cause the report to fail. The URL needs to look like this: HTML Code: https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax&email=myemail@mydomain.com If a user were logged in and ran that link, a page would appear stating that an email had been sent. So, all I need it for the input to get placed into the URL without all of the additional characters. The report cannot run when the URL looks like the above and thus cannot get emailed. Also, that link probably won't work since the site is password protected, so you'll likely get a 'page cannot be displayed' error if you try to access it. Solution is likely simple, then again, my luck would have it not being so simple! I thank you all in advance for your help. At least a point in the right direction would be nice. I have a simple signup form on my site that I want to pass the input to the larger signup form. Here is the code for the simple form: <form action="http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8"> The larger signup form is located he http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp I want the email address from the simple form to move to the larger form when the submit button is pressed. Ideas? I have limited knowledge of HTML, that's why I'm here! I have a form email all set up complete with a "Submit" button. I did something wrong because when someone fills out the forms and submits it, the email doesn't contain any data. You can see my page he http://qtband.com/avon.htm If you can take a look at my code and tell me what I'm missing, I would appreciate it!

Hi Everyone I have a problem with my form in that I have an html page with a dropdown list. I need the value selected to be passed to another html file. However I need this done with html and not javascript/css/asp etc. As an e.g. of what I have: <form name="connect" action="trace.php" method="get"> <select name="sites"> <option selected option value="http://www/connect.php">Choose A Site</option> <option value="http://10.20.12.50" name="Site1">Site1</option> <option value="http://10.20.12.55" name="Site2">Site2</option> <option value=http://10.20.12.40" name="Site3">Site3</option> </select> <br><br> <input type="Submit" value="Traceroute"> </form> So if the user selects site2 I need the name (or value) from the option field sent to trace.php and from the trace.php website i need to retrieve the value selected from the above. Can someone please help me by telling me how to do this? At the moment I cannot retrieve the value from the trace.php site. I have used $_POST & $_GET, but neither seem to work and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. TIA Hi, I want to put in a form to get queries from the user, like so: Name: Email: Comments: 'Send' button and that it will send the information to my email address which is gmail? Thanks script completed, thx So I've got a form with some input text. In addition to the data in the input text I want to send some other data that has already been predetermined on initial page load. How would I declare the other data within the form element? Thanks In a regular form with text fields, can I pass the imput from the user directly into a hidden textarea from multiple fields intertwined with html? Example: <form> <input type="text" name="firstname"> <input type="text" name="lastname"> <input type="text" name="occupation"> <input type="hidden" value="some html + firstname + some html + lastname + some html + occupation"> </form> I think this might require some javascript. Is something like this possible? Hi folks - right then, think im being thick here lol <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="myvariable2"> I have a variable say called myvariable1, how do I pass that into the above so that value becomes equal to it? ie myvariable2 = myvariable1 myariable2 also needs to be/become numeric. Any help appreciated, ta karl This htm file contains no errors, but the "amount" value is not passed to the form (does not appear on the shopping cart). If I type in the value for the amount in the input field, everything works fine, but I need the amount to be dependent on the item_name selected. The shopping cart just shows this error message "Some required information is missing or incomplete."

I have a jsp page with a form and a table. My aim is that when i press the submit button of the form,collect the data and fill the table with it. I am working with J2EE. I have already collected the data in a Java class,but I dont know how to introduce this data into the table. Best Regards! I have been using my site for some time now and it carries the image name over when you clicked on purchasing the print. It carries it still, but when you submit the form, the image name isnt there and the form errors because the field is blank. Here is the site: www.sthompsonphoto.com I cant seem to figure out why it disappears when you click Submit? Any help would be great! Hi My first post here, so I hope it's a good one! I have a form which I want a javascript function to be able to manipulate the action= line. the reason I want this is so I can manipulate the subject line. the javascript looks like this: Code: <script language="JavaScript">
function getMAILTO(){
var mailto = "andy.plumb@conwy.gov.uk?subject=EN$(FORMNO)";
alert(mailto)
document.Enrolment.action = mailto;
}
</script>
I have put the alert in so i can see what the variable produces. The form line looks like this: HTML Code: <form action="mailto:javascript:getMAILTO()" method="post" > Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done? Thanks Ok So I was a little premature in adding to my previous post the the form was now working in IE. I've written 2 forms, the first was a very basic general feedback form, asking the user to rate the site as Excellent, Good or Poor, together with a comments field. This is a relaunch of a site than ran into a little disuse and became out of date. (Once the site is live I'll think about adding the details into a topic on this site for you all to see.) The second was as my first post (form redirect) listed. Both were using the method="post" but I'd read that you didn't need this if you were using 'mailto' tag so I removed it. Now it adds the email recipients but removes the email subject and doesn't add the responses into the body of the email. Further reading indicated that for very basic forms the method="get" is better so I changed it. This stopped it working in Chrome. Can't win! Leaving the method out.............still no joy. Hey ho. Will probably get the site host to use Perl (or whatever other they use for other sites they have developed). Benefits? No more headaches for me. Less chance of spammers. Hopefully better security and more likelihood of people using the form as they wouidn't need to give their email address if they didn't want to. And, hopefully, some chance of being able to filter out those inapproriate responses some people like to submit with these forms. Is there a way to have an email form that includes a field where you would enter an email address and this would be used in the "to" field of the email. |
