JavaScript - Form Mailto With Checkboxes?
I have a question and I'm hoping someone may have some suggestions on how to solve.
I found a script on this forum that does almost what I want from this thread: http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=184011 (thank you Philip M!) Instead of a dropdown, I'd like to have a list of names using check boxes, so that you have the option to send an email to one or all of the people. When you choose your selections and click submit, an outlook email will pop up with your selections in the to: field. Is this possible? Here's the solutuin using a drop down, this works (and works well), but doesn't quite do what I need : <form name="Contact_Us" id="contact" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit = "getEml()"> <fieldset id="selection"> Who would you would like to email: <select name = "sel"> <option value="email1@email.com" >email 1</option> <option value="email2@email.com" >email 2</option> <option value="email3@email.com" >email 3</option> </select> <input type = "submit" value = "Submit the form"> </form> <script type = "text/javascript"> function getEml() { var emailaddress = document.Contact_Us.sel.value; window.location = "mailto:" + emailaddress; } </script> Is there a way to use checkboxes but to do the same thing? <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name1@email.com">name 1<BR> <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name2@email.com">name 2<BR> <INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name3@email.com">name 3<BR> Similar TutorialsAttached is the code. It does open the email but does not send any information. Can someone please assist. Code: <!-- Table 2 for the Content --> <form name="orders" onsubmit="return confirmSubmit()" onreset="return window.confirm('Are you sure you want to reset your Orders.'); " action="mailto:lynette@sayorkies.co.za" method="post" enctype="text/plain"> Code: // Function to Confirm certain conditions and confirm to proceed with order function confirmSubmit() { var itemsOrdered = true; if (document.forms[2].totalExcl.value == 0 || document.forms[2].delivery.value == 0) { itemsOrdered = false; } if(itemsOrdered != true) { window.alert("You have not chosen any products to purchase or No Delivery Option selected."); return false; } var submitOrder = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to place the order?"); if(submitOrder == true) return true; return false; } // Function to calculate order value function calculateValue(orders) { var orderValue = 0; // Run through all the product fields for(var i = 0; i < orders.elements.length; ++i) { // Get the current field var formField = orders.elements[i]; // Get the fields name var formName = formField.name; // Is it a "product" field? if (formName.substring(0,4) == "prod") { // Items price extracted from name var itemPrice = parseFloat(formName.substring(formName.lastIndexOf("_") + 1)); // Get the Quantity var itemQuantity = parseInt(formField.value); // Update the OrderValue if(itemQuantity >= 0) { orderValue += itemQuantity * itemPrice; } } } // Display the totals orders.totalExcl.value = "R " + orderValue.toLocaleString(); // function to calculate VAT at 15% as required and total inclusive. function calcTotals(oValue) { var vat = oValue * .15; var totalIncluding = oValue + vat; var tDelivery = Number( orders.delivery.value.substring(2) ); var theTotalOrder = totalIncluding + tDelivery; orders.vat.value = "R " + vat.toLocaleString(); orders.totalIncl.value = "R " + totalIncluding.toLocaleString(); orders.totalOrder.value = "R " + theTotalOrder.toLocaleString(); } return calcTotals(orderValue); } I have created this form. I would like to use javascript to mail the form to the selected email from the selection list when the submit button is pressed. could anyone help with this? <form name="Contact Us" id="contact"

Thanks, Craig I am using some code in a form to show an image if a checkbox is selected. A different image is shown for each checkbox. The code works well, but I need some help to update the code so that only one of the four checkboxes can be selected at any one time. If one is checked and the user selects a different one, the original one should automatically untick and the associated image should change as well. To summarise, I want only one image and one checkbox to show at any one time (and it needs to be cross browser please).

Any help is much appreciated! - Mikey Does anyone know of a safe mailto link using JavaScript?
I'm looking for a simple javascript that can fill in the subject of an email message with whatever is in the title tags of the page they're on and also to include the link the the page in the body. [CODE] <a href="mailto:e@o.com?subject=&body=http://www.o.htm" title="Question"> [CODE] Thanks! Hi all. I have the following problem that I require a pointer with. I have a php variable named "$seatid" This could contain 1 or many entries. I have a page full of checkboxes named A1-8, B1-8, C1-8 etc to P1-8 I want a way of greying out the checkboxes on the page that relate to the values that are contained in the php variable. So they cannot be clicked. It would also like to change the colour of the cell that the check box is contained in. It is important that the checkboxes or at least the table that contain the checkboxes remain, as it represents the layout of a theatre. Cheers for your help All, I have the following code which validates a form has at least one checkbox checked before it submits it. However I want to make sure that there aren't more then 25 checked on the page. How can I do this? Code: function validate(field) { for (var i = 0; i < field.length; i++){ if(field[i].checked){ // if a field is checked form is submitted return true; } } alert("You need to have a check box selected to submit the form!"); return false; // if no fields are checked form not submitted } Thanks in advance! My form generates 1 to n records which contains check boxes. Based on some condition if I click a check box it has to check & disable some other check boxes automatically. I did it. But, at the same time if I un-check I have to un-check all the check boxes which were checked. Please let me know. Thanks a lot.
have a simple calculator i made with checkboxes and some Js. the problem is that it does not work in FF. any idea how this can work for IE Safari AND FF Code: function getPrice(amount, boxName){ total = eval() ; checked = document.getElementById(boxName).checked if (checked){ total = parseFloat(form1.Total2.value) + parseFloat(amount); }else{ total = parseFloat(form1.Total2.value) - parseFloat(amount); } total.toFixed(2); form1.Total2.value = total document.getElementById("total").innerHTML = "Total $"+total; } Good evening all, I have a bit of an issue with checkboxes - basically I need to allow only 1 selection and then have a comments box show when a checkbox is checked. I've gotten the comments box to show when the checkbox is checked but I can't seem to workout how to allow only one. I'd really like the user to be able to change their mind and make a different selection but only have 1 be selected at a time (sort of like radio buttons work). I know it would be much easier and probably better to use radio buttons but that isn't an option with this. (The actual HTML is produced using a style sheet in an application that I am interfacing with so all I can do is use the checkbox.) Here is the code I am using to show or hide the comments box. Code: function HideComments() { var a1 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1").checked; var a8 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8").checked; var a2 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2").checked; var a3 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3").checked; var a4 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4").checked; var a5 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5").checked; var a6 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6").checked; var a7 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7").checked; var a9 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9").checked; var a10 = document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10").checked; if(a1==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer1_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a8==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer8_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a2==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer2_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a3==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer3_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a4==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer4_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a5==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer5_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a6==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer6_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a7==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer7_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a9==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer9_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; if(a10==true) { document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'block'; } else document.getElementById("crmForm_answer10_value").parentNode.parentNode.style.display = 'none'; } Thanks in Advance Sam I have a group of checkboxes named "list[]". I want to validate that at least one is checked. How can I do this?
from a browser address bar command? say if a page has hundreds of checkboxes, and I needed to check them all, but only 2-3 should be left out, how do i input a browser command line, to check it all, so i will manually uncheck the 2 or 3 thats not needed?
Hello, I have a form generated by mySQL and PHP, and inside the form (named 'UpdateDB') each line has checkboxes, like so: Code: <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="96" onclick="highlight(this,'check_96')"> The onclick is to highlight the row, that works fine. However, I wrote a javascript function that toggles the select all the checkboxes or none. This is done by an image: Code: <img src="img/select.png" align="top"> <a href="#" onClick="togBox('updateDB');"><img src="img/all.png" name="listToggle" align="top"></a> Easy, right? So heres the Javascript function that the above image (the 'none' part) links to: Code: function togBox(form) { var myForm = document.forms[form]; document.listToggle.src=='http://gospeltruth.tv/admin/img/all.png' ? toggle = true : toggle = false; (toggle) ? document.listToggle.src='img/none.png' : document.listToggle.src='img/all.png'; for( var i=0; i < myForm.length; i++ ) { (toggle) ? myForm.elements[i].checked = 'checked' : myForm.elements[i].checked = ''; } } Its a brilliant function if I do say so myself, and this is what I dont get: two days ago, it was working fine, today, its not working at all. The image changes, but IE flags up the 'myForm.length' as an error. How was it working 2 days ago and not today, when I havent touched it? Can anybody advise why its not currently working? Thanks for your help, ~Chud37 Hi Guys, I'm currently working on a page working with separate categories and a whole lotta check boxes. My objective is to have one checkbox deselect the other checkboxes in its category without interfering with the rest. How would I go about doing this assuming the id tag is already in use and differs per tag? I was thinking about cycling through all checkbox tags and sorting them out via class but I'm looking for something possibly more efficient. irst post here, i'll try to be simple: I need to create a form where participants of a medical convention register to classes, each class lasts 3 hours, so a person who wants to attend to class starting at 10 am cannot register to 11 am, 12pm and 1pm classes, but he can register to 2pm and so on. There are 3 different classes per hour. i thought doing this using javascript, but i'm absolutely lost. Can you please give me a hint on how to do this? Thanks!! this is the part of the form that has the checkboxes. <form method="post" action="process.php"></form> <input type="checkbox" value="101" name="convention1"> 10 am: Cariovascular desease<br> <input type="checkbox" value="102" name="convention2"> 10 am: Changes on toracic surgeon<br> <input type="checkbox" value="103" name="convention3"> 10 am: New drugs on heart<br> <input type="checkbox" value="111" name="convention4"> 11 am: New drugs on heart (II)<br> <input type="checkbox" value="112" name="convention5"> 11 am: Dynamic process on blood pressure<br> <input type="checkbox" value="113" name="convention6"> 11 am: Aortic disease<br> <input type="checkbox" value="121" name="convention7"> 12 am: Pulmonar Pressure<br> <input type="checkbox" value="122" name="convention8"> 12 am: Open table<br> <input type="checkbox" value="131" name="convention9"> 1 pm: Neurological aspects on heart rate<br> <input type="checkbox" value="132" name="convention10"> 1 pm: Cardiovascular disease (II)<br> <input type="checkbox" value="133" name="convention11"> 1 pm: Mioresponse on heart failure<br> <input type="checkbox" value="141" name="convention12"> 2 pm<br> <input type="checkbox" value="142" name="convention13"> 2 pm<br> <input type="checkbox" value="143" name="convention14"> 2 pm<br> <input type="checkbox" value="151" name="convention15"> 3 pm<br> <input type="checkbox" value="152" name="convention16"> 3 pm<br> <input type="checkbox" value="153" name="convention17"> 3 pm<br> <input type="submit"></input> </form> I am trying to get a link that when clicked it will check all the checkboxes in my form. My problem is that my values are stored in an array: <INPUT TYPE=\"checkbox\" name=\"emailArray[]\" value=\"$email\"> print"<br><a href=\"#\" onClick=\"checkAll()\">check all</a><br>"; Here is my javascript function : function checkAll(){ alert('hi'); var df = document.selectEmailForm.elements; for (var i = 0; i < df.length; i++) { if (df[i].name == "emailArray[]" ) { document.selectEmailForm.emailArray[i].checked=true; } } } Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time! Hi all, I have a form with a number of checkboxes. The 1st one is "Select All". When this checkbox is ticked I would like to disable all others. When the "Select All" checkbox is unticked, all checkboxes should be enabled. Can anyone tell me how to do this? is JQuery the preferred method these days? Thanks in advance |
