can't add text field to from

[stemy]

Hi
I'm trying to edit a from that someone else did, that sends the input throught email (cdo). I've added a new text field to the from but when I submit the field is not included. should I bind it to the form in some way ?

You will need to add the form variables into the cdo code.

Post the code for your cdo page and Form so we can have a look.

I think the code was automatically generated, but it goes like this:
If FormFields <> &quot;&quot; Then
For Each item In arrFormFields
BodyString = BodyString & item & &quot;: &quot; & Request.Form(item) & chr(13)
Next
End If
objCDO.Body = BodyString

thanx

There will be a line in the code somewhere assigning the form fields to the variable used in this line.

If FormFields <> &quot;&quot; Then

post the whole page where the above code appears.

thanks!

I found the line and went like

FormFields = fname~lname~number~ (etc.)
arrFormFields = Split(FormFields.&quot;~&quot

so I just added my new field to the long concatenated string.
Isn't dreamweaver supposed to do that automatically ??

If DW built the function it would normally update it. Sometimes you have to open the behaviour to add the aditional fields though.

If you have a page with an Insert/Update record behaviour attached all set up and working. Then added a new form field to the page you would have to add the new form element to the Insert/Update behaviour, otherwise dw doesn't know what you want to do with the contents.

Hope that explains it a bit.
