Default Forms - Submitting to different recipients depending onthe selection - 09-07-2006 , 10:59 AM






I have a form which I need to submit to different email addresses depending on
an option selected in one of the dropdown boxes. This MUST be done on a
client-side form.

Any ideas on how to go about this?

I want to avoid creating a different form for every scenario.

Thankyou

Yes - I know how to do this. But first...

What type of server-side scripting method are you going to be using to
process and mail the form.

What exactly are you referring to when you say a "client-side form?"

The form you're going to place on the webpage will need to be handled by a
server-side scripting method in order to mail the form...unless you're
planning to use the "mailto:..." method, which IMHO - you shouldn't waste
your time on.

Hi Shane,

It has to be using Mailto: as this is in an Intranet environment with all staff using Outlook with no access to server-side scripting due to company restrictions.

Any ideas? Thanks.

You're outta luck.

Why no access to server scripting?

Its for a Government site and no accesss to server scripting as its the departments policy that sub-web developers arent allowed access. Red tape beauracracy. All good fun !
