Hi

I am using Frontpage webots and want to send a form via email to a recipient selected from a dropdown list on the form.

eg if "John Smith" is selected then the form will go to "JohnS@myco.com"

Is this possible using javascript?

Cheers

Luigi

yes its very much possible,what you will need to do is create your listbox as that the value attribute of the option contains the email address and the text part contains the actual name..then when user submits,change the action attribute with appropriate email address value

Hi

How does this look?

Now I need to connect the value selected in the "Authorising Manager" field to the recipient's email address.

Can you help?

Cheers

Luigi
