Is it possible to add some code to a standard FormMail script that will add an extra email address to the recipient list if a tick box is selected?

Thanks in anticipation,
Ben

What do you mean by a 'standard form mail script'.

If I understand what you mean, it should be possible to do it in one of two ways:
1) By making a text field unselectable (greyed out) unless checkbox = checked.
2) Making a form element appear by manipulating its visiblity. If you need help with either approach, PM me.

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well - the page uses a server-side cgi FormMail script, (a Matt's script clone), to email a form to a number of email addresses listed in a hidden Recipients field.

I want to change it so that if a checkbox is ticked then it adds another email address to the Recipient list. I was hoping that it might be possible to manipulate the variables using a JavaScript?

Thanks, Ben
