Surpressing fields in forms?

A

I am sure this issue has been addressed in the past, but I'm at a deadline
again right now. I have created an online entry form for a dog show...
people have options for several shows... the data is sent "HTML/UL" formatted
email... Is there a way of surpressing the fields that are not used so as not
to confuse our "poor computer illiterate" event secretary? If the field that
is not selected does not show up in the email, he won't have to think too
much... If he sees ALL the fields (whether they were or weren't selected),
he is going think that the person has entered all of the shows... thanks

Not when using FrontPage extensions to process the form. Requires a custom
script in ASP,PHP,Perl/CGI - whatever language your host supports.

Not w/ the FP forms handler

Try...
Right click on form got to
Form Properties> (new window)
Then Options> (new window)
Then E-Mail tab at top of window...
Uncheck the Include field names..
Yes, but how do I know what is being returned? He asks..
All you need to do is "set the value" of a check box or dropdown box to
return the information so it makes sense..
Fields that have not been used will not be in the E-Mail..
