is it possible to fill in the form action=" " with javascript?

[wolfestone]

I'm trying to adapt a 'spam proof' javascript email link to be used with a mailto: form.

The javascript function is this:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function mail()
{
var name="name";
var domain="domain.com";

document.write("'mailto:' + name + '@' + domain'");

}
-->
</script>


and the form begins:

<form method="post" action="javascript:mail()" >

This just returns 'mailto:' + name + '@' + domain' in the browser window, and doesn't mail anything.

I know mailto isn't the best way to do this, but the specification given is that it has to be a mailto form, and use the code to spam proof the email address.

If anyone could give me some suggestions on how to accomplish this I'd really appreciate it. I believe document.write isn't the correct thing to be using, but I am unsure what to replace it with.

Thanks very much for any help.

1. Give your form an ID, like <form id="myForm">
2. After your form, add this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('myForm').action = "mailto:" name + "@" + domain;
</script>

If that doesn't work, try:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('myForm').setAttribute("action", "mailto:" + name + "@" + domain);
</script>

Hope that helps .
