Form Question...

[Don Schneider]

Hi,

I have a form that is working great! A person fills in the form and it
emails the results to me no problem. My question is, how can I make it so
that ONLY the information entered is sent. If someone does not enter
anything in certain fields, I want the results not to show those fields when
sent, I only want the data that was filled in.

TIA

Not possible when using the FP Form Handler. Requires the use of server-side scripting (ASP,
ASP.net, PHP, etc. to process the form data.

If you use:
<form name="form1" action="">
then you can have a field at the bottom:
<input type="button" id="submit" value=" Send " onmouseover="testform()"
onclick="sendform()" />

testform() and sendform() are user written (client-side) JS functions

testform() tests to see if there are any errors (as defined in the
function). It alerts if there are and returns to the form, allowing changes
to be made

sendform() selects only those fields which you want to send and writes them
into the variable body.
It then sends the form using:
window.location = "mailto:" + "email address"
+ "?subject=whatever"
+ "&body=" + body

I have tried it and it works for me.

I think the sender's browser has to have a default email client, but
otherwise there are no problems.

I can post an example (or possibly a web reference) if you want.
