Need To Append Hidden Text

[nihiser]

Hi. I'm curious to find out if there is an easy way to append hidden text when submitting via a form. For example:

I have a webmail form that requires the user to type in the entire email address as a username. However, since the domain for every user using the webmail is the same, I would like to automatically append the "@whateverdomain.com" to just their user.

Thankee.

I guess you use some kind of server-side language to deal with the form. Just add that part to the username there.

You could use javascript, if you don't want the server sides scripts to deal with the user name. Here's an example:
<script type="text/javascript"> //this goes in your head
function append(formName) {
var domain = "whateverdomain.com"; //change to reflect your domain
var user = document.forms[formName].user.value; //change to reflect username form field name
var parts = user.split("@");
if (parts[1] != domain) {
document.forms[formName].user.value += "@" + domain; //change to reflect username form field name
}
document.forms[formName].submit();
}
</script>

<form name="login"> <!-- this is an example form -->
<input name="user"><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="append('login')">
</form>
