HTML - Submitting The Results Of A Form

I have been trying to add a text field to a pre-existing form which is submitted to my email. It is an order form and I want to add an area for the user to input their country. It shows up on the webpage but when I get the information the user has submitted in my email the Country data is not coming through.

The webpage is http://earfdn.org/form11.htm

The problem is towards the bottom under the Ship To: title.

Please help! And thank you so much for your time.

Hi all,

I'm looking for ways, how I can avoid multiple form submissions, when a user repeatedly (intentionally or not) refresh the browser (F5 button) after submitting a form?

The input in my form is simply an email address. Nothing else. It is used for forgot password function.

I have tried unset or set the $_POST['email'] to empty, but it doesn't help.

Is there a clever way to do this?

It submits in every other browser BUT IE... I just finished this website and it works everywhere except IE... I don't get it!!!

I'm using image inputs to submit the form. Is that bad?
It obviously sends me to the next page, but why isn't the data going through?

the form exists on this webpage http://awesomebattle.com/compare.php it's the frame with the two random characters in it...

here is the code.

Code:

<form method="post" name="vs" id="vs" action="vs.php" >

I'm thinking it's a

I hate I.E. I really do. So many people use IE so I have to make this work with my site.

I want an area on the front page of my website, to display what someone has submitted in a form, (their name, comment and the current date), and I want it to update every 10 seconds.

Is this possible in HTML, if so, could anyone provide the code ?

Is there a connection between a form's "submit button" <input type="submit"> and it's "action/method/enctype" attributes <form action="url" method="post" enctype="text/plain">?

Is there a difference between "submitting" a form and "posting" a form or is it all interconnected? Does the form's "action/method/enctype" attributes have to be set to allow the "submit button" to do anything? Do the "action/method/enctype" attributes have to be triggered by a "submit button"?

Once I understand how this all works, I want to run some checks on user entries/selections in a form when the user clicks the submit button. These checks will be carried out by a JavaScript function. If there are problems with the user's selections/entries I want to;
1) suspend submission/posting
2) alert the user to the errors they have made via an alert box
3) allow the user to make corrections, then they click submit again
4) test the user's selections/entries again
5) if user's selections/entries are now OK, submit/post the form data or if still not OK go back to step 2 above.

Any hints on how to do this? Maybe I should forget the submit button and use a command button? Is there a "submit" method I can place in a JavaScript function?

Hi all,

I have a query that I hope somebody can help with as my site has been brought to a standstill because of this problem.
I have just posted the new version of my site online and I have a folder below the domain root which contains things like database info, form scripts etc.

When I process the form I get a 404 error. the action is something like

HTML Code:

action="../includes/process_form.php"

There is no need to any output from these files as they process the information and direct to the relevant files above the domain root using php header scripts.

At the beginning of most of my files I have the following
PHP Code:
<?php
$security = 'secure';
require('../includes/default.php');
require('../includes/error_handlers.php');
require('../includes/db.php');
?>

and there is no problem with these whatsoever.
I had all of the scripts working fine when I tested them at
domainroot.co.uk/take2/public/
domainroot.co.uk/take2/includes/

Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening

Any help would be appreciated
John

Hi,

its been many years since i've done any website / html work but a friend of mine asked me to help him add a form to his marriage website that basically works as a RSVP option. he wants people to be able to add their name and click if they are going to be attending or not...click submit and have it send it to his e-mail.

Making the form was easy (and i won't bore u with the code), the only problem i'm having with is how to make the submit button send an e-mail. I did some looking and it seems like its going to require the user to have sending e-mails enabled thru their browser? does anyone know of an easy way to do this (preferably one that doesn't require the user to have any sort of brain) ? Simple is better and all i need is a quick fix


thx for any help

Hello, I have a form which links to Results.htm

Basically I want the title of that page which opens in a new window to be whatever was input in the form previously.

Hope you all can help me, it's been bothering me for quite some time.

Thanks, Jooey

Hello everyone,

I am creating a HTML form which is driven by PHP. This is working fine, but when I get results in email box they appear like this.

Name : james
Email :
Telephone : dhfjdfjdhf
Collection_address : fhdjfhdjhjh
Number_of_bedrooms_current_location: : jhhjhjh Delivery_address : hjhhj Number_of_bedrooms_new_location : hjhhj Items_that_need_moving : hjhhj Pack_items : No Store_any_items? : NO Provide_details : hjhhjhj Submit_email : Submit


Is there any way of making form results look more attractive to the reader of the email form? If so where is the code applied for the doing this? Will it be on contact form itself?

Thanks

Hello all,

I searched the board for an answer and didn't have any luck. This makes me wonder if what I want to do is possible. I have a webpage that uses divs to section the page into four sections (top, bottom, content, and navigation). On the navigation side is where users select a set of form options and based on those options details should display in the content section. Frames is not an option as we're trying to get away from frames and I need to make subsequent pages for other things without the frames.

Thanks in advance for you helpm

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to target the results of a form on one of my pages to a frame in a frameset.

I have a form which produces a search on a site I pay to use. I want the results of this search to be in the bottom of a two row frameset. The top row of the framset will have links back to.

The form itself is on my main page and is NOT a part of a frameset.

Hope i have been clear. I'm assuming I may have to use javascript or php but not sure.

All the best,
Libman

I am trying to create a form where I can check boxes of skills to return results of how many "departments" i have checked have those skills.

It would look something like this:

Check box - Description of skill1
Check box - Description of skill2
Check box - Description of skill3
SUBMIT BUTTON

Department | Skill1 | Skill 2 | Skill 3 | Total
--------------------------------------------------
ABC________1_______1______0____2
XYZ ________1_______1______0____2

So I need a code where I can check the boxes that apply, hit the submit button and have a value box display in each department instance if there was a match of not (1 = match 0 = no)

So if i checked box skill 1 and skill 2 there would return a 1 under skill 1 and 2 for each department and show the tally of that under the total.

Can someone help?

thanks!

Hope someone can help me. I've got a html page set up so that my clients can type in their name, choose several options via radio buttons, an option to clear the form, then submit the form.

What I'm having trouble with is how to obtain the information from the form. I think I would prefer this to be retrieved via email. Is there a way I can:

1. Have the subject of the email be the name of the client (whatever they type in)
2. The results of the form sent to my email (let's say it's myemail@university.edu)

Thanks in advance!

I would like to know how to create a mini form of two pull down boxes so that when the two selections have been made and submitted it returns back a designated page or picture.

For example I want to build a simple method to show routes of an office building. Pulldown box 1 would be the office number you want to start from, and pulldown box two would be the office you want to get to. when you click submit it would pull up either a page or picture which contains the corrrect floor plan and route. I feel like this should not be too hard as I don't need anything very flashy. I just don't know how to start it.

If anyone knows of something open source already created to do this I would be open to that too.

Thanks in advance for any assistence you can give.

Hi. I am creating web service. But the problem must be somewhere on HTML page. When I submit form, the data send by web service (java program) to the page does not show up. If I do not submit form, then the program works; results appear on the page. The form is submitted invoking pushSubmit() javascript function. This method is invoked from setMessage() javascript function.
I submit form cause in this way I discover what value is selected on drop down list. This is done using JSP code. Can I do it somehow else. Next action using retrieved data is to invoke Java class on server side.
What might be the problem?

This is the code:
Code:

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ page import="mart.ebay.database.ReadsCategoryTable" %>
<jsp:useBean id="categoryList" class="mart.ebay.database.ReadsCategoryTable" scope="request" />
