Form Email Recipents

[Gareth]

Hi,

I am creating a simple form that when submitted, will email the results to an address.

I want to have a drop down box on the form that will have a few names in it, the data for these names will be email address. When a person fills in the form they will choose a name from this drop down box. I want the form to then be emailed to this person that they select.

I have tried putting the form field name as the To address but that doesn't work when the form is submitted.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

will the choice of emails be on the same domain - ie. within the same company
like you might have:

1 IT Support (e-mail address removed)
2.Accounts (e-mail address removed)
3.Executive (e-mail address removed)

or is it going to be different people with different emails, as I don't know
frontpage (or the extensions or even your host) restricts this.

You could do it with a third party script either cgi/perl or ASP, PHP or other
server side script - depending on your host platform. try www.hotscripts.com for
form handlers in all the major categories of scripting languages - ASP(VBscript,
JScript), Perl/CGI, PHP and so on .

I think by default (and maybe it only does this) the form handler (extensions)
just sends the email to yourself to your email (the default address for your
account)- it isn't as flexible as you need it to be.

I just looked at the 'form properties' dialogue, and there is a field for one
email address (yours). You can't in this case choose the recipient.

You'll have to use a third-party solution, other group members here will probably
respond with some suggestions but www.hotscripts.com is a starting point.

Depending on your skill level, the scripts are fairly easy to understand and set
up.

No possible to do using the FP Form Handler, you will have to use ASP, PHP, etc. to accomplish.

Make 3 different pages each with a form with a different mailto address.
Then have a link to the different pages.
