emailing from HTML form post

[dibbkd]

I made a simple form in Frontpage that when you click "submit" it emails the information to whatever email address you put in the Form properties.

I want to make it so the user can somehow select who the form gets emailed to from a list.

You won't be able to, using only HTML, you'll either need javascript to dynamically change the "to" field, or some kind of server-side language, that can construct the email on the fly.

Either way it falls out of the realm of HTML and therefore of this forum.
You can try:

The javascript forum here: forum216

or for Server-Side options:

PHP forum: forum434
ASP forum: forum333
Cold Fusion Forum:232

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks, I was thinking that was the case, but thought maybe there was something else about HTML I wasn't aware of that could handle this.

I know a little PHP, but was hoping to be able to do something simple in Frontpage.

Guess I'll brush up on my PHP now..

Thanks.

Glad to have helped.
The PHP solution can be very simple, and I know for a fact there are plenty of examples in the forum if you just search for them.
