Get Paid $$$ for help on a javascript...

[chal7ds]

Hello All,

I have a page that I created for a client http://www.angelopainclinic.com/appointment.html which has a form. The only problem is, I can't do javascript or perl or any of that coding stuff, so I don't know how to write the script to make the information get e-mailed to my client anderspine@wcc.net when the customers push the 'request an appointment' button.

Further, I need to have the page get re-directed to http://www.angelopainclinic.com/thankyou.html once the button is
pushed.

If someone would go to the above page (http://www.angelopainclinic.com/appointment.html), view the source code, copy and paste it into your editors..and complete the code...and then write the javascript needed..and then email me the work, i will pay you for the job. I will pay you 50 bucks for it.

If you have paypal, cool..if you just want me to send a check in the mail that's cool too. I'd obviously have to test your work to make sure it works before payment. That may take a day or so depending on how fast my client gets back to me to let me know it worked.

If you're interested you can get in contact with me @:

chal7ds@yahoo.com

Okay, thanks a lot for any help..

Just 2 points/questions:

1) Why would you offer money. The majority of the p[eople here are volunteers.

2) What kind of grade is this getting, or is this really a project you need. Because if it is just something your doing ... there are tons of scripts online ... that are free, btw.

As far as I can tell, javascript cannot mail anything.

[chal7ds]

I am offering money for it because I CAN'T do it...and making someone do a service for free, in my opinion, is wrong.

No, it's not for "school" for a grade. I am a freelance web designer, and I don't know coding...so I am offering this job to someone so I can get it done for my client.

Javascipt can not mail forms.
You can use user's mail client, but that is a bad practice.
To do it right, it needs to be a server side script that processes the form and mails it to desired address.

If your server supports PHP or ASP, I can do the script for you...

[chal7ds]

My server only supports javascripts...sorry...

Javascript (as the subject of this forum) is a client side technology.
Make sure you are not confusing it with JScript which is MS version of javascript that can be used as one of the ASP languages, or Java Server Pages.

Most hosts support ASP and/or PHP nowadays as part of standard hosting plan. If yours does not - time to switch...

You should get a better server Javascript wont cut it

[chal7ds]

My server said that you just have to write a javascript file and put it in your cgi-bin folder within your public_html folder. They said the javascript file is called up when the user presses the submit button, or in my case, the "request appointment" button. In addition, they said I need to change my html in the form page so that it knows how to 'call' the script when the button is pressed.

Does this sound accurate?

huh do you mean perl/cgi ?

[chal7ds]

i don't know what i mean...that's why i put my inital post here..because I have no idea how this works. That's what my server told me. I'm seriously coming to the conclusion that no one knows how to get this done. I've been everywhere, and it just keeps going in circles. i'm pooped.

Your server can talk?


Well like Vladdy you should do this with some kind of server-side script

This sounds pretty clear that the server allows some type of server-side scripting. Maybe server-side JavaScript. Yes, there is such a thing outside of MS asp/JScript -- for those of you who like to point out the differences, but don't rememebr server-side javascript from the days before Microsoft took over the world.

chal7ds, find out what server-side languages your hosting company suupports -- i bet they allow perl, and maybe more. You can likely find out from their web site. If oyu can't figure it out, message me on this forum, and I'll find out for ya. Someone on one of these forums will be glad to help you out I'm sure, but we'd need to know what tools we'll be allowed to use to get the job done.

lakers01, your server can't talk?

[chal7ds]

russell,

well, I know I won't be able to find any of the perl capability on my server..because I already looked. Course, maybe you'll have more luck. If you want check it out, go to www.hostway.com That's who I go through. It seems like they would probably have that stuff, because they do e-commerce and all the other technologies, so I don't see why they wouldn't support asp, perl, etc..

And yes laker, of course my server can talk!! who's can't?

Appreciate the help, let me know if you find anything out...

thanks,

Your server allows Perl v5.x, C++, gcc, TCL, and Python CGI in all of the plans $13.95 and higher. Can't tell if they allow any custom CGI in the 9.95 plan or not.
