More javascript problems :(

Pinkchick03

Hi!

I am looking to find help with javascript again!
I want when a user submits a form with registration details that those details will be sent to the email address they entered.

This is the function and the form!

Please help me!

function initMail(form)
{
alert("in second function!")
var emailaddress=form.emailad.value;
var logName= form.logInName.value;
var SecName= form.second.value;
var city=form.city.value;
alert( emailaddress)
alert( logName)
alert( SecName)
alert( city)

emailaddress+ " (" + LogName + "):\n\n"

"\n\nYour Friend,\n" + SecName + "(" + form.city + ")";
return (emailaddress!= "");

}

<form action="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#</cfoutput>" name="form1" method="POST" onsubmit="javascript:return ValidateForm(this)&& initMail(this)">
<table>

it is impossible to send email using javascript

amen

it is impossible to send email using javascript

thats not strictly true
on the client side it is impossible but
you could use some serverside java script to send email (create relevant object and call it )

NeverSayDie

As pointed out by the presvious two posters, you need something on the server side to actually send the email. This can be a CGI script of some kind, Perl, PHP, ASP, etc. But one way or the other, you can't send an email directly from the client (ie the user's browser)

Thanks NeverSayDie and everyone! I just gave up on sending email code! It isn't necessary for the site I was building - but just wanted it for a nice extra! Cheers anyway!
