Q1016 How can I send an email using a form with a predefined subject field, a user defined email address and a footer with a URL?
YMMV depending on the browser and email client, but try:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function update(what) {
what.action = 'mailto:' + document.hiddenForm.emailAddress.value +
'?SUBJECT=' + document.hiddenForm.subjectLine.value;
what.elements[' '].value += '\n\n';
}
//--></script>
<form name="hiddenForm" onSubmit="return false">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="emailAddress">
<input type="hidden" name="subjectLine" value="Hello World">
</form>
<form name="emailForm" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Message Body: <textarea name=" "></textarea>
<input type="submit" onClick="update(this.form)">
<input type="hidden" name="Internet Related Technologies - <URL" value="http://www.irt.org/>">
</form>
|
Which sends an email message looking like:
Subject:
Hello World
Date:
Mon, 05 Apr 1999 19:42:56 +0000
From:
Martin Webb <martin@irt.org>
Organization:

To:

You cannot avoid the "=" sign. Although you could make it appear as
part of the message with something like:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function update(what) {
what.action = 'mailto:' + document.hiddenForm.emailAddress.value +
'?SUBJECT=' + document.hiddenForm.subjectLine.value;
what.elements[' '].value = ' Subject Heading =\n\n' + what.elements[' '].value + '\n\n';
}
//--></script>
<form name="hiddenForm" onSubmit="return false">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="emailAddress">
<input type="hidden" name="subjectLine" value="Hello World">
</form>
<form name="emailForm" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
Message Body: <textarea name=" "></textarea>
<input type="submit" onClick="update(this.form)">
<input type="hidden" name="Internet Related Technologies - <URL" value="http://www.irt.org/>">
</form>
|
which appears as:
Subject:
Hello World
Date:
Mon, 05 Apr 1999 19:47:14 +0000
