Form Results
I am a complete newbie here so bear with me.

I have programmed several online forms (typically using cgi).

A client of mine does not like how the results are formated (the long column of text)

Is there anything I can do to program the results of this online form to get put into another format that would be e-mailed to the receipient?

I hope that all made sense.

Thanks!

forgive me for not understanding.

I have searched and have not seem to found what I need.

The form is collecting data which gets e-mailed to a recipient as a long column of text. I want to take results of the form and process it into some sort of html-style e-mail for them.

I hope this makes sense.

Ok...so I guess you are capable of retrieving the data from your <form>...</form> into variables right?


Once that is done, what's next?

You want to send an email to someone but you want that email to be html formatted?
Is that correct?

If so, where are you know in your code?
I mean what have you done so far? where are you stuck?

And please show code

hope this helps!
Sincerely

Vlince

I an currently using a sendmail script that is provided by my hosting company.

(basically like matt's form mail)

I need to figure out what steps I need to take to capture the information and then process it back into the html-style e-mail.

So, in a nut shell I guess I am at square one!

Ok so square one...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<body>

<form name="frmMain" action="sendmail.asp" method="post">

<textbox1>
<textbox2>

<Submit Button>

</form>

</body>
</html>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice the action="sendmail.asp"
When the <form>...</form> is submitted, it will send *ALL* the information to sendmail.asp.

Now let's create sendmail.asp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim strTextBox1
Dim strTextBox2

strTextBox1 = Trim(Request.Form("txtTextBox1"))
strTextBox2 = Trim(Request.Form("txtTextBox2"))

'NOTE: I've assumed that the name of your textboxes were:
'txtTextBox1 and txtTextBox2

'FOR DEBUG ONLY
'Response.Write "-->" & strTextBox1 & "<--<br>"
'Response.Write "-->" & strTextBox2 & "<--<br>"
'Response.End


'Ok now that we hold, into variables, the <form> fields...we can
'now wend the email


Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("xxxx.zzzzz")

If NOT IsObject(objMail) Then
Response.Write "Object is not created..must register component on server!"
Response.End
End If


objMail....
...
..
.
objMail.Send


Set objMail = nothing
%>


Now since I don't know the mail component your talking about I can't/don't know the properties and methods of the component, you'll have to fill in the blanks...

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Vlince

woah creepy, that's what my company calls it... sendmail

can you show us the component your're using? Usually you can just set the body to HTML or MIME, so if you show us we might be able to tell you how to set that up, then you just send the body a sstring with html embedded and that's all there is to it man.
