I am looking for some help with code but cant seem to find what I am looking for or if it is even possible to do.

Scenario: User fills in a form that must be submitted for approval to their supervisor before coming to me. There is no way of me knowing who ALL the supervisors hard so I cannot code their name on the submit button.

How do I fix my form so that, when submitted, the end user will have an option to choose a name from the GLobal Address book to send the form to for approval?

Thanks,
Roxanne

You could include a drop-down list box on your form with all the names of the supervisors from the global address book hard-coded into it. Or, if you have a database with your employees in it, you could tag each employee with the id of their supervisor and automatically route the form to the correct supervisor.

Hi,
Will the form be submitted using a cgi process or just a simple mailto: action?

Unfortunantly I have no way of knowing who these supervisors are - they change quite frequently. Also there are over 10 000 employee's here so the list would be extensive even if there were some way to find this out :(
