    Hi all,

    My problem is I want my form to go to it's regular email adress, but if a certain checkbox is checked the form will go to a different adress. Any ideas? I don't want to use a "mailto" solution either.

    Thanks,
    BM.

    You'll need to use a server-side programming language for either or both (alt address / no mailto). Do you have one available?

    If you don't want to use a "mailto" solution you will have to use server side scripting - CGI in your case.

    However, given server side stuff is not your bag, then you might try just setting up 2 copies of the same form mail CGI (each going to a different address) and handle which script to go to using JavaScript - i.e. change the form ACTION when the onselect event is invoked.

    Configurable form mail CGI's are available on a lot of sites out there, btw. Your host may also be able to help with your requirements.

    Thanks for your help, but I came up with my own solution - on the checkbox I put a "onclick, go to URL" behaviour, and set up an identical form with a different email address. A lot less hassle than messing around with scripts that I know very little about!
