EMail Form

Sabin_33 · December 1st, 2006, 11:21 AM

Hello all,
I'm looking for some help understanding validations.
This is my Code:

Code:

    <form id="MyEmail" runat="server">
    <div>
        <br />
        <input id="Accept" style="width: 176px" type="radio" name="Action" title="Decline" onclick="return Accept_onclick()"/><br />
        <input id="Decline" style="width: 176px" type="radio" name="Action" checked="CHECKED" onclick="return Decline_onclick()"/><br />
        <br />
        <input id="Text1" style="width: 288px; height: 112px" type="text" />&nbsp;<br />
        <br />
        <input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" onclick="return Submit1_onclick()" /></div>
    </form>

First I'm trying to figure out how to capture properties of an object with javascript. SO I can say something like this

Code:

If Decline == True 
{  If (text1 == null || text1 == "")
       //Error
    Else
      //Good
}

Secondly I'm sending this as an HTML e-mail. And After client hits the submit button I want to open an outlook express e-mail. Like a Mail-To Link.

Thanks

Ahhhhhh, I hate it when websites open the default mail client....you should avoid that, just go ahead and write some PHP that sends it as well...!!

if its for only your clients it would be ok but i wouldnt recommend it same as Jacob said PHP lol cause if your using clients your default e-mail account setup usually Outlook but if was not for clients then you would use PHP or something to get the right functions.

In my opinion it does not matter wither it is your clients or not. They might not be using a default mail client, they might be using MSN/hotmail, or yahoo, which are web based. So opening the default mail client is just not an option, just write a PHP script that sends it as well, if you want a preview option, you can write that in as well. If you would like to see an example I can show you one!!

Yes i understand Jacob i would agree with you cause everytime when i contact some one through email on a website and say my yahoo or hotmail account is my default email system it will open one of them but then sometimes when i do it opens up outlook express so

lol

JacobHaug · December 4th, 2006, 09:15 AM

Alright, but I can do this in an e-mail right?

As long as I have a little form that has either - accept or decline and can send back an e-mail I would like that.

JacobHaug · December 4th, 2006, 11:05 AM

Right!!
