Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
HI!
How can I send form results to my email address and
yet take the users to a confirmation page at the same time?
Thank You
Answer:
You could use a bit of JavaScript to do it using "document.location" like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function doit(){
document.jump.submit();
window.location="http://yoursite.com/con
firmation.html";
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="mailto:you@yoursite.com" NAME="jump"
ENCTYPE="text/plain">
<font size="-
1"><b><i>Enter your name in the field
below:</i></b></font><br>
<INPUT Type=text Name="webdev" Value="">
<P>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Go" onClick="doit(); return false;">
</FORM>
Thanks

Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
How do I set/change a forms recipient value using a select button.
ie. if a user selects say 'yorkshire' form a list field or check box can I get it to change the hidden field 'recipient' value?
Regards
Answer:
Something like the following would work, using a bit of Javascript:
<SCRIPT
LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--//
function getemail(){
var email = document.myform.email.value;
document.myform.action="mailto:" +
email;
document.myform.submit();
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="myform"
action=""
METHOD="post"
ENCTYPE="text/plain">
<select name="email">
<OPTION SELECTED
value="scott@mine.com">scott
@mine.com
<option
value="sclark@me.com">sclark@me.com
<option value="scott@yours.com">scott@yours.com
<option value="sclark@his.com">sclark@his.com
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit"
onClick="getemail();">
</FORM>

Question:
Dear Dr. Website:
I knew I'd need you again one of these days!
I would like to enable a user to click on a thumbnail of an image and not view the larger jpeg of that image, but download it to their computer (as happens with a link to a Word doc).
These are jpegs and so would naturally display in a window rather than automatically download when clicked.
How?!
Thank you!
Answer:
I wish I could help you out here, but unfortunately, the only way to get the browser to automatically download jpegs instead of displaying them would be to set the MIME type in your web server to treat them as
downloadable files...that wouldn't be prudent, as then all the images in your site would do the same if they happen to be jpegs. Of course, you could always place the jpeg images within a zip (compressed) file, and it would automatically download instead of displaying it.
Thanks
