Submitting an online job application through email

[hevychevy1996]

I have an online job application i created. After the user submits the application, I want it to email the entire application to my human resources dpt. How would I go about doing this?

Use cfmail to send the form. If you want it to look just like a filled in application form, just copy and paste the html from the form inside your cfmail tags. Add value=#form.formfield" to your text fields, replacing formfield with whatever you named your fields.


putting the "new" in "newb".....

Look at the cfmail tag, this is how you would actually send the mail. To show the information in the email, you would just code it like you would for displaying it on a page.

Funny you should say that, when I submitted my first post and the count showed someone else had posted, I said "Crap, I wonder if bombboy said the same thing I did?" I was actually kind of shocked to find out that it wasn't you!

Yeah nobody ever thinks it was webmigit who posted first . Kidding.

Btw hevychevy, you don't uaually need cfoutput in the cfmail tag.. If you include the content from another file, you'll need to put cfoutputs inside that file.

cfmail even has a query tag.

What version of CF are you using?
