I was wondering if anyone knows how to put the value of the textbox in the following:

<a href="mailto:prune_3_16@hotmail.com?Subject=Brochure&Body=Please send me your brochure.[value of textbox]"

Thanks

<form action="mailto:you@yourname.com">:confused:

Now I'd like to include some text inside the body of the email
&body=[insert text here]"+email+";

Take alook at the last part of this code from my last post for u.

document.frm.action="mailto:k_ali@shaw.ca?subject\="+subject+"&body="+body+";";



Anything you want to put in body put it in a var body="your message"
and the it should work fine for u.

"&body="+body

"&body=your message"+body+";";
not like that
"&body="+body+";";

the word body is a variable that holds the data that u want to send in the email.

Two things

Is it possible to use radio buttons to put stuff into the body of the email.

and

Could the radio button value and the textbox value be inserted into the body.

you must be doing something wrong..:-)

u can put any value in a variable and set that value to body of the email.

just get the values u want to add to body.

No, you must watch for double quote marks ("). If you want quote marks in the body text, prefix them with "\". Also, you must declare what will be in the body BEFORE you write &body=" + body + ";


Like this:

var body = "\"Hello!\". This is the body.";
document.frm.action="mailto:k_ali@shaw.ca?subject=" + subject + "&body=" + body;

That should work.

To do this with radio buttons:

<input type="radio" name="radio1">
<input type="radio" name="radio2">

Then:

if (radio1.checked == true)
var body = "body";
if (radio2.checked == true)
var body = "body";
else
var body = "body";

Where are the double quotes unmatched? They look fine to me.

...they did

How do you ever manage to come up with solutions to problems that don't exist?

I've made a few adjustments and I have the this on the end of the email address:

fear@rwe.com?radio1=on

How can I get rid of the radio1=on?
