HTML - Passing Data From Form Into Url
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. Similar TutorialsHi 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"

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 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."

Hey 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- Hi everybody! 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 Hello all! I've been lurking in these forums for a good while as I've recently started dabbling in web design. As such, I find myself stumped. Despite my relatively thorough search on Google I've yet to find anything that points me in the right direction. I assume I'm simply not using the right terminology in my searches. Hopefully the community here can help me out. In short I have a chat applet that I'm trying to get a "Report Member" function working in. Users can right click on a member and select "Report Member". From there I have a page on my site called Report.htm and that particular URL. The chat applet provides information on the end of that URL. Here is an example URL: Code: http://www.siteurl.com/report.htm?username=JohnDoe&roomname=Main+Room&showuser=2264826&uid=2264826&srcuid=2264826&srcusername=JaneDoe Essentially, JaneDoe is reporting JohnDoe for who knows what. When the report is made they're sent to the placeholder report page with all the details at the end of the URL. If possible, I'd like the Report.htm page to have a form in it where the information for the form is prefilled (and uneditable) from the information provided by the URL. Essentially the form would roughly look like the following: Username of Member: JohnDoe Your Username: JaneDoe Room: Main Room Report: (This would be the only editable section) After filling out the report they'd hit submit and it'd get emailed to the moderating staff. Is this something handled on the server side of things? If so I've potentially posted this in the wrong subforum, but I assumed it was something that could be done via form tags in HTML (though I do know some script would be needed for the actual submission of the form). My server uses PHP, if that information is useful. With all that said, is this possible? If so, what can help get me started in learning how to do this? I've spent a good deal of time looking around on Google but nothing seems to be quite what I want or, more likely, I'm simply not using the right search terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Greetings I'm organizing a competition, or quest, between my forum members. Each competitor has to finish 37 tasks. So I built this table to use as a progress tracker. It lists the names of the participants at the left side, and a horizontal bar at top with 37 cells showing task number. Each time a user finishes a task, he PMs me and I then go edit his/her table row to change the color of the cell under that task, and type the date he finished it in. But this is too much work for me, as I have to edit the table many times each day.. so I was thinking, can someone help me do the following? It would be great if I have a form that users can fill in, and then that form submits its data into the corresponding cells in the progress tracker table, so that the table automatically reflects the new data. The user has to type a code that I assign for him, for the form to know which row to handle, and also to prevent others from playing tricks with his data. It would be even greater if another form can be made that automates the participation process, by adding a new row when a new user who wants to join the competition, submits the form. Then the form emails the user the code he would later need to submit data to his row. Many thanks for any help, code or examples given. I cannot get my form to write to my asp file for the life of me. My website is rollingdice.byethost32.com you'll notice a login form with two simple txt fields. I have the action set to the name of the asp file ("logins.asp"). The asp file looks like this Code: <html>
<body>
<%
'declarations
Dim username, password
'initiate declarations
username=Request.Form("username")
password=Request.Form("password")
'print input
Response.Write("Username: " & Request.Form("username") & "<br />")
Response.Write("Password: " & Request.Form("password") & "<br />")
%>
</body>
</html>
If someone could please tell me what i'm doing wrong it would be much appreciated hi, i have a form wich consist username and password. i want to read these content and store in the local system( my system) also i want to read the same thing from the file. can any one please send me the code for that. Many thanks in advance... Hey all, This is probably a stupid question, but it's driving me nuts - I have a simple form with 2x file uploads on it, and when the user clicks a button a PHP script is run. This scrip is picked up by checking the global $_POST variable for 'upload'. This works fine and my PHP script does the upload when I only select one file (using either one), but when both are filled in for some reason the global $_POST variable is empty, so my script will not run. Before looking down the PHP route I'm wondering if everything is ok with my form, or if there is some error that I am missing that is causing this problem? Any help is greatly appciated. Thanks. Code: <form action="" method="post" name="client-balances-selection" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="current-balances">
<h3>Current client balances</h3>
<input type="file" name="current_balances" class="file_upload" />
</div>
<div id="past-balances">
<h3>Past client balances</h3>
<input type="file" name="past_balances" class="file_upload" />
</div>
<input type="submit" name="upload" class="button-primary" value=<?php _e('Compare'); ?> />
<input type="submit" name="delete" class="button-delete" value=<?php _e('Delete old files'); ?> />
</form>
