Help urgently needed!!!

I have a form on my website which i got from "bravenet", it will only currently send to a certain address, that is the one that the account with "bravenet" is made with. But i want vistors to my site to beable to send a copy of the form to a different address which can be selected from a dropdown menu. Any help on this would be welcomed. Thank you all.

This is done server-side not with Javascript. You cannot edit pre-made PHP scripts (PHP is the server-side language they use) from Bravenet.

well, the is another form i can use.

but the only problem is that the e-mail MUST be typed into the text box. it will not work with a dropdown.

But i found a script on this site where you select a item from a drop down menu, then a second dropdown with subselections is displayed, then you selection from that dropdown is displayed in a text box. is there anyway to edit the script so it will work by just using 1 dropdown instead of the 2???

Look, the only way to edit the script is if your server supports PHP and you have the source code.

lol, now I'm confused.
stormrevolution
05-16-2003, 01:49 PM
lol, sorry.

OK heres the basic info.

theres a tell-a-friend script that will send the submited form the the e-mail address the user enters. But i want the user only to beable to send the form to certain e-mails. I tryed useing a dropdown menu but didnt work as the script will only work if the user enters the e-mail address into a textbox.

I found the above script, when u select a item from the dropdown menu it will place the info into a text box. only problem is it has 2 dropdown menus. When the script loads you select a item from the 1st and then the 2nd dropdown opens then you select from there and it pastes the info into a non-edit text box. But im wondering if there is a way and how i can edit this script so it will only use 1 drop down menu.

---------Next item! lol------------

With the e-mail form that sends to a address my account is in "as posted 1st" there is a way to send carbon copys by entering some code into the form script. But is there anyway at all to make the carboncopy script work with a dropdown menu.

Cheers for all your help.

<input type="hidden" name="carboncopy" value="someone@somewhere.com">

I think I understand. Try this:

<input type=text name="email" value="Enter your email address" onChange="var emailList = new Array('me@myhouse.com', 'you@yourhouse.com', 'us@ourhouse.com'); for(i=0;i<emailList.length;i++){ if(this.value!=emailList[i]){alert('You must enter one of the following as the email address: '+emailList[0]+'\n'+emailList[1]+'\n'+emailList[2]); this.value=''; return false;} }">

It should all be on one line.
stormrevolution
05-16-2003, 02:45 PM
something like that, but i would like a dropdown menu that when you select a item from it the value of the item is pasted into a textbox automaticly. something like this

<option value="email@somewhere.com">Steve</option>
<option value="email2@somewhere.com">Jon</option>
<option value="email3@somewhere.com">bob</option>

when a name (ie: steve) is selected the email will be pasted into a a text box.

Oh well, server is down. OK, here is the source code anyway:

<html><head><title>Testing....</title>
<!-- NOTE: This file created by Jona. Do not use this file or any source code in it without permission from Jona. -->
<script>
function addIt(){document.frm.area.value=document.frm.slct[document.frm.slct.options.selectedIndex].value}
</script></head><body><form name="frm">
<select name="slct" size="1" onchange="addIt()">
<option selected value="Jon Doe">Jon Doe
<option value="Jane Doe">Jane Doe
<option value="Avery Smith">Avery Smith
</select><br>
<textarea name="area" readonly></textarea>
</form></body></html>
stormrevolution

thats the thing i was looking for!!!!!!!!

how do i change the textarea into a 1line text box as that is what i need.
Jona
05-16-2003, 03:49 PM
Change the <textarea> to <input type="text" name="area"> and change the select boxes:

<select name="slct" onChange="addIt(this.form)">
<option value="me@myplace.com">me</option>
<option value="you@yourplace.com">you</option>
<option value="us@ourplace.com">us</option>
</select>

And change the code to this:

function addIt(f){f.area.value=f.slct[f.slct.options.selectedIndex].value;}
stormrevolution
