Hi,
I'm trying to put together a 'simple' form but am needing some help...

Can you combine the OnClick event and Submit together?

Here's what I want to do:
A text box on the form asking for a postal code.
Have the user click one of two radio boxes indicating whether they speak english or french.
When finished they click a 'submit' button, which redirects the user to either the english or french page, at the same time submitting the postal code information to me.

It was suggested I use either PHP or ASP, instead of javascript...
Is this possible???
Thanks.

First of all, use php.

This shouldnt actually be that difficult, you will need to do some research into $_POST, mail(); and also into php if / else statements.

Basically, your form would collect the data, and post it to a series of php commands, either on the same page or a seperate "processing" page depending on your style.

The $_POST variables would then have to be converted to $foo (normal variables).

Important thing to realises is that radio buttons return "1" if they are selected & "0" if they are empty.

Knowing that you can create a php if / else statement that checks which radio button is selected and forwards the user to the correct page whilst simultaneously sending you the info in a mail.... or if u wanna be real shexy, stick it in a database

Hope this helps, if u get stuck give me a shout

My choice might well be to make a little rectangular button that says "francais" and links to a different page. But you could easily have two submit buttons, with "English" and "Francais" (or "Click here" and "Pressez-ci" or something).

PHP (or asp/cgi) is better anyway, since some people have js disabled.

Mason has a point....... just let them select the language they want

I agree, 2 hyperlinks to separate pages seems to be the easiest way, I must remember...KISS!
Thanks!
