Formating a Result of a Form before Submission

[sweetstar]

Hi all;) ,
I have a form with many fields, and I would like to submit it using e-mail. But it is submitted as plain text. My Question is: Can I format the data in table format or any other readable format, such as snapshot pic, before submission so the date will be readable in the e-mail?.

I will be grateful for helping me.



Regards,

I suppose you are asking if you can submit the date in HTML table format, like with <TD> and </TD>'S ?? If you add Mail and BodyFormat options to a CDONTS statement, you can.

Add :

objCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
objCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0

on the lines previous to your objCDOMail.Send command, and make sure that you setup the needed HTML.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for, as I have to admit that I am a little confused from how you wrote you question.

Ok, what you have there is an HTML form that submits using the mailto: action. I thought previously that you had some sort of server side script that you were using to process the e-mail request.

If you have access to a host that allows you ASP technology, then you could use a simple sendmail script to do what I have told you before. If you do not have access to a host like that, then I am afraid there is no way to perform the action you need. See, the reason that I wouldn't go into the mailto action is because it is plagued with problems and never really turns out right.

Other than that, you can find the necessary code to make a server side sendmail function here, at http://quadcomm.com/tips/sendmail.asp
